Figures: Despite the decreasing rate for new short sales, it is still increasing each week despite the decreasing total inventory. From a purely qualitative point of view it almost looks like the short sales are lagging the listings by about a month – the next month will be interesting to see if the short sales actually start to decrease or if those represent a different market than the “normal” listings.
