There aren't that many repos here.

I just went through all the lisitngs in Ontario Nyssa Vale Oregon  plus Fruitland and Payette Idaho for a client.  She wanted to know all the repos.  Out of 358 lisitngs (I didn't count manufactured in parks) there were only 8 repos on the market.  That's right just 8.  I am shocked.  I know there's more coming because we're all doing BPOs for them.  Just 25 miles away in Caldwell Nampa Boise area the story is much different.  The economy doesn't seem any better here but we've never had the low lows or the high highs.  We have lay-offs and uncertainty here but I think a lot of people have been able to hang onto their houses because their payments were about what they'd pay for rent anyway and they are willing to make the lifestyle sacrifices necessary to keep their houses (second or third jobs, go nowhere do nothing, don't buy stuff). 

It's always good to do a reality check.  Knowing how things REALLY are gives validity and true value to our advice to our clients.  I need to remember that.
