As you can see the numbers in default are much higher then those in foreclosure, reason being is the government put a moratorium on foreclosures which has slowed the foreclosure process. Also Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have publicly stated they want to move distressed assets through short sales vs acquisition and REO. President Obama's efforts and programs have given the banks incentive to complete more loan modifications where homeowners qualify and to streamline the short sale process for those who don't qualify.
To complete a short sale and successfully negotiate its close in today's market conditions requires a Realtor who has received Certified training as a Pre Foreclosure Specialist. In many subdivisions as many as 86% or more of the properties active on the MLS are distressed (pre-foreclosure, short sale, bank owned). With 86% of an area's listings being distressed, we have seen as high as 80% or more of an area's closings come from distressed properties.
