Winding doen 2009 and looking forward to the future you have to know where you have been if you want to know where you are going.

Planning my marketing and business plan for 2010, as an REO Listing Agent, I have taken the opportunity to examine how many REO Listings we (as a market - not my personal production) have had assigned just in the city of San Jacinto, CA, going back to January 1st, 2007.

San Jacinto, CA Real Estate, REO, Assignments, 2007-2009

By looking at the above chart it is apparant that from May of 2008 through May of 2009 that there was more than enough business to keep everyone happy and busy.  The peak in assignments was October, 2008 with 158 REO homes for sale hitting the MLS, for the San Jacitno CA Real Estate marketplace.  Since then there has been a steady decline with only a few peaks to stop the slide completely...to the point where we are at 56 or only 35.44% of the business assigned to this market, just 15 months earlier.

Looking at the City of San Jacitno Real Estate Inventory, as of this moment in time, there are a total of 228 active listings in the MLS of which only 50 are bank owned REO properties for sale - these are the homes that are realistically for sale and will sell, without a doubt.  Then there are 127 Short Sale Listings - based on current trends, it is safe to assume that 10% of these will

I work for an REO Broker here in Michigan. He's seeing the trend declining in these and heading towards short sales. it's the sign of the times.

In the last 2 weeks Bank of America has assigned me 3 new listings, as there had been a dry spell. Indeed they are on the way. I think I have done over 25 BPO's for Secure Lending in the last 2 weeks. Stay Vigilant!!!

It's universal -- REO volume has tightened (artificially) in the suburban Chicago market. I have an REO assignment that is on its second asset management company, and we're slooooowly coming to market. Good luck to all in 2010. I can't wait for the spigot to be turned back on!

I have to say that here in RI as well, the REO inventory has declined. However, judging by the amount of bpos that come across the board for "distressed" properties, one could make a case that more are coming.   Again, I see a lot of "ghost" inventory here as well. (empty homes)

If you want to see the total aggregate inventory nationwide with trends and the numbers of pending foreclosures, check out this new page from Commercial Real Estate Distressed Asset Association.  The have the national data posted from Lane Guide in a great graph.

This really shows you the trends in foreclosures and which REO assets are trending up and down.  Keep your eyes on this in the first 2 quarters of 2010, it will be interesting to see if the pending storm of REO's will be hitting the market?
