Figures – the larger increase in short sales is apparent, as is the increase as opposed to decrease in listings. Any hypotheses as to what is going on? Picking back up after things were slow from the fires? One thing that is interestng to me is that despite the ever increasing number of REO’s we are still seeing an increase in short sales – I would think that some of the short sales are converting to REO – so the increase in short sales maybe is happenning at a faster pace than we see in this data? That is just speculation of course, but watching the market change on a weekly basis leaves lots of time for that.
