The supply of lender owned properties in the Minneapolis Saint Paul area is dwindling. For each buyer that is looking to purchase a bank-owned property, there are only 1.84 homes (on average) to choose from. Meanwhile, there are plenty of short sales available. This may be due to common problems associated with getting short sales approved, the time involved, and the difficulty in actually closing them.
