In the real estate industry, we refer to Bank Owned properties as "REOs". REO stands for Real Estate Owned. I don't understand why they're referred to as that because afterall, isn't all real estate owned....by someone?

REO property inventory has certainly had it's impact on both the Residential and Commercial market across the country, and the South King County market is not immune.

Here's what's going on with REO properties in South King County*

 

Active Listings: #134         Average List Price: $287,119         High Price: $999,900       Low Price: $269,450

Great report!  Are you ready for the Kent Valley flooding?  I have noticed home values have really taken a hit in areas that may be effected.

Dan, I certainly hope it's not going to be as bad as they predict. Someone told me today that they'll be letting some water out of the Dam this weekend. It's a pretty scary thought though.

Colleen....Great post! I'd love to do this for my market, but it would take a full time person to do it....some of the agents list REO as foreclosure and some list it as a "corporate owner" but that does not mean it's a bank-owned property.

I just know there are plenty of them!

Now there is one healthy, vigorous REO market!  REO comes from the line item on the bank's balance sheet, it's THEIR real estate owned....
