VenCo Distressed as a percentage of pending. Wow.

I see the possibility of a big slowdown in sales (or just lack of growth in sales) coming mid-year if more distressed inventory doesn't come on the market soon. With servicers catching up due to SB 1137 and the economy in general I don't think distressed inventory will be a problem.

I'm seeing ALOT of homes that are listed in REDFIN that are ACTIVE then CONTIGENT and then drop back to ACTIVE.

Interesting.

Noz. The Back On Markets happen with about a third (that is an eyeball/WAG for Ventura, not an exact measure) of the Contingent and/or Pending statuses.

For the Valley they track BOM a bit better, I'll have a post up in a bit with the latest stats.

Just discovered your blog via Calculated Risk. Good info/ammo for me to present to my wife when I talk to her about housing. She is interested in 3436 Fairmont, 93036. It's her "dream" home, so we're going to make a go of it. They are asking 620k for it, which when I factor in the normal appreciation and upgrades, seems like a good price....

I want to offer 600k for it, but I don't want to risk the offer not being accepted...

REOs can be tough to ask for a reduced price when they have low DOM. But even if your offer is rejected, the banks aren't emotional bratty seller you can just submit a higher offer.

That listing looks like it is pending, Is an agent telling you that you it is currently active?

Thanks for the info...yes, I'm told it's pending, but most of the RE sites are still showing it as active.

Thanks
