LA Renter good question. I think that last year was a wake up call for sellers that the peak was already in the rear view mirror. I would not say they were trying to cash out at the top, but they sure were trying to cash out. I think you nailed it, alot of it was soft inventory. Alot of the psyche was okay if I don’t sell now then in 07 it will get better… so it didn’t get better… why didn’t they return to the market? Well either they think it will be better in 08, or they decided to say screw it I am gonna sit on my equity and not sell… I couldn’t put a number on it but I think it was a fair percentage. Given that inventory did not hit last years levels AND we know that the percentage of distress sales this year is way up from last year, then that does back up logic that soft inventory last year made up a fair percentage of active listings.

August 27, 2007 at 4:30 PM #81779lostkittyParticipantGo to foreclosure.com, count up the number of NOD’s and foreclosures, and then add them to the inventory.
San Diego still down???
I think at some point homes get pulled off the market because their “ownership” is in flux. The banks then auction them off or whatever.
I may be wrong though – this is all quite complicated, and I have had a beer already (it is 7:30pm out here on the east coast).
i sure saw a lot of for sale signs out there, and also many homes that I know are in trouble with no sign at all.

August 27, 2007 at 4:38 PM #81782NotCrankyParticipant“Soft” listings in 2006 became “must sell” in 2007, Properties with NOD don’t always have that in the listing either. Some of the NOD’s are not even advertising short sale so there is probably more distressed property on the mls than meets the eye. We could do some kind of count comparing to NOD lists but wouldn’t that be next to impossible to do. Anyway for my purposes the situation is clear enough.

August 27, 2007 at 4:48 PM #81788bsrsharmaParticipantI have a basic question. Is the information on REO properties easily available, say, sorted by ZIP or price? One would think the REO owner has an interest in widely publishing this info to get the best offer. I have heard they don’t get on MLS. Is there a free database of such properties? Anything like that for NOD/Shortsale etc., distressed properties?
