Hey Mike

It's encouraging to see an increase in sales. The fact that 43% of them were bank owned is scary.

Terry, it is encouraging, the numbers have gone up slightly each month since April.

It is scary that 43% of the sales were bank owned, but on the other hand, it's also good that the reo's are selling, rather than sitting vacant. The sooner the reo inventory goes down, the better off the market will be.

Also, in the earlier months of this year, bank owned sales made up about 50% of the sales.

Mike, this report looks awesome.  (I sold one in St. Clair Shores last month, and it sold for just under the average sales price you have reported.)  Believe it or not, it was not bank owned.

The Shores is always going to a be a desirable place for people to live.  Having you there as the local expert will help many home buyers and sellers!
