Short sales are at an all time high. But is that about to change? Here's an article I wrote for The Examiner that explores that topic:

To me, from a layman's point of view, with the economy going nowhere I don't think anything is going to change a whole lot.
That is unless, of course, banks start to dump their inventory of houses that are in default.
This doesn't even take into account commercial properties.
Simple outlook, I know, but the way I see it we have a ways to go before we hit the bottom.

I think you are right. Short sells will be reduced as straight up foreclosure to bank owned property auctions will increase.

Bill, there are so many reports coming out right now that it's impossible to keep up with them. Unfortunately, most of them are negative in nature.

Richard-You are so correct. Who and what to believe? And yes-Most are negative in nature. Well, not unless you read the reports generated by National Association of Realtors!
I think it is important to look at hard core numbers in comparison to years past in a specific market. The national scene often times is no where similar to a local market.
As far as negative, well I guess it depends on whether sales or good or bad and if you're a buyer or seller!
I've got another beach real estate report in the works.
