I had been hearing some people say that it seems like all the properties for sale these days are Short Sales.  So, I Another Whittier Home Sold by Bob Willischecked to see how many homes sold during the last 4 months, and what type of transactions they were.

Here is the breakdown of the 330 homes that sold in Whittier from April 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011:

Flip 4 1.21%
In Foreclosure Process 1 0.30%
NOD 5 1.52%
HUD Owned 3 0.91%
Probate 6 1.82%
REO 87 26.36%
Short Sale 70 21.21%
Standard 154 46.67%
  330 100.00%

I think it is smart to do this, and share this information, since what consumers may think, and hear, from the media is simply not correct. We approach similar numbers in some communities in my area of SoCal, but some are far less in terms of REOs/Short Sales.

This report shows YOU are the local expert and YOU know the market. Wonder what it looks like for other communities nearby that you service?

Bob, perception is King. What ever they're told is often what they believe. Good for you for debunking that notion.
