New REO Broker/Agent Blog

I would like to start a new REO Broker/Agent blog where pros and wannabes can share our ideas? In April this year, the San Francisco Chronicle mentioned that banks are holding on to inventory, what they called "shadow inventory". The paper mentioned that come May, we'd see a deluge of homes in the market. It's July now and I have not seen anything of this nature.

In fact, there are more buyers in my market than there are properties. Any property release is being met with an avalanche of offers. In some places, we have started seeing values going up. There's just very inventory in the market. Agents are lamenting: they have buyers but no inventory to buy from. How is it in your marketplace?

It seems that there are lots of buyer and multiple offers on every property--except for the high end properties, where it is much harder to get a loan right now. And . . . that's they way it is ;-)

You can still get multiple offers on high-end properties. It all depends if the high-end property is priced right and is a bargain. It depends on how you market it as well. I sold one recently here in the Bay Area for $849,000 all cash. While we were in escrow I had 2 higher offers. Try the all-cash approach and set a deadline for offers.
