Figures – the first two are the same as usual. Nothing new, just the same trend we have been seeing.
I scrapped the third plot in favor of a new one. I did not think it was adding anything new, just replotting data from the first two figures. The new figure combines some data from a different thread – the weekly NOT’s – I just wanted to see what this looks like and I am not really sure what to make of it. There are 3 things plotted – the number of NOT’s and the change in listings are against the left axis. The change in listings is a function of both new listings and sales – so I then just divided the NOT’s by the change in listings to get a ratio.
That ratio is just a generic measure of foreclosure activity versus MLS activity – I included “zero” lines for listings and for the ratio. I am open to suggestions as to how to improve that, or better yet, interpetation of what the hell it means? There is obviously some error in this as the data are not from the exact same source. The NOT’s cannot be negative but the listings can go negative due to higher sales than listings, or more likely expired listings. As usual with these type of data, the overall trend is far more important than looking at weekly variation or any of the “extreme” weeks.
Cheers,
