Prescott area REO and short sale homes sold 9-1-09 thru 9-30-09
The average price per square foot for REO and short sales was $88 and the average time to sell was 110 days compared to $125 per square foot and 225 days on market for traditional resales. Traditional home sellers are continuing the trend of reducing their prices to sell against the foreclosures and short sales. In fact, you can see that with over 40% of the sales being REOS and short sales that these comps cannot be ignored.
Short sales about 18 % of sales: Of the 76 homes sold, 12 were short sales (highlighted in yellow). Short sales are becoming more mainstream as banks and buyers and especially REALTORS figure them out. So many agents are doing the whole industry a disservice by avoiding these transactions.
55% of the homes sold at or more than asking price (see green highlight). This is a huge jump from last month’s 35%. This is an amazing “weak market.” Also note that most of the ones that sold quickly (list is sorted by Cumulative Days on Market (CDOM) received full price offers.
Some of the buyers I am working with right now are trying to get 20% off of the bank’s price. You can see how futile this exercise is when the average is only about 5% off.

Thank you! This is just what I was looking for. Keep up the great work!

Great blog post. The media will never pick up on this because it is more complicated than a soundbite.
If I may add that with the number of outstanding loans that are scheduled to reset in the next couple of years, decreasing home values and stricter lending guidelines, the rate of foreclosures are on track to peak in 2010. Short sales have become a growing niche for Real Estate Agents to sell homes before they become bank owned.
short sales | short sales education | short sales success
1/3 on the market are foreclosed or short sales – wow. It’s nice that you research this information. The agents who represent home sellers prob don’t share that info with buyers. Take care.
Dear Patrick,
Great article! I agree with you. I also would like to add couple more alternatives to those homeowners who want to stay in their homes.
There are two products those aren’t widely knowing and common in the market place. Trsutee Foreclosure Delays and Loan Re-Write.
Did you know that Homeowners are illegally being foreclosed on especially in Trustee States?
In Judicial Foreclosure states, a judge reviews the legality of the foreclosure proceedings to ensure the homeowner is being protected against greedy lenders and yet still the lenders are not properly following the foreclosure laws correctly (see this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/31/nyregion/31judge.html?_r=2).
In Trustee States, lenders employ a “third party” trustee company to replace the legal function of a judge and orchestrate the foreclosure process. If banks are not legally foreclosing when they know a judge reviews the case what do you think they are doing when they only have to go through a trustee that they pay? And what is more interesting, the trustee company is liable for the foreclosure proceedings but who is going after the trustee companies to review the legality of these foreclosure packages? You guess it! Yes, No one is..!
Did you know that a loan Re-Write program has the ability to reduce homeowner’s current loan balance down to the current market value at prime + 3%?
Here is an example: You owe $500K on your home but it is only worth $350k. Investors will bulk purchase the note from your current lender and re-write it back to you at $350k, saving you (the homeowner) over $150k!
I hope this helps!
