I have been considering doing short sales lately and I read quite a bit on this forum. I even signed for Broker Bryant and Wendy's short sale seminar. I found opposing opinions on whether it is worth doing short sales so I decided to do my own research.

I looked at last month sales (MLS only) in Riverview, FL. True, this is not scientific research but it is based on facts.

So, here is it.

Last month sales: 112

Short sales: 26

REOs: 32

New homes: 18

Normal sales: 36

I used to work in retail and from there I learned that it's worth stocking on the merchandise that sells.

What do you think?
