Foreclosures Coming Yet?
A good way to track foreclosure activity is to monitor the same four REO listing agents over time. If the flood gates open, they’ll be the first to feel it.
Here are their numbers today – it looks like we’re going backwards:
APR 18, 2008 – 467 Actives/247 Pendings = 1.89
MAR 9, 2009 – 223 Actives/223 Pendings = 1.00
APR 28, 2009 – 140 Actives/199 Pendings = 0.70
I haven’t had any assigned to me since the first week of February.


It’s no fun to be a buyer now. Everywhere you look there are tons of short sales with multiple lenders that have slim to no chance of agreeing on anything. Even if you do happen to land a deal, you still have to worry about the other shoe waiting to drop with all of the shadow inventory just sitting out there.
