am seeing the bottom of the bank owned stuff creep up in pricing. Any thoughts as on how that will hold thru season.?

Most forclosures going for 95% or higher list price and multi offers lots of sales I think prices will continue to sneek up a little through the season but the investors I work with are low balling at the moment and are missing the deals.
Hi Jeff,
We have noticed a decline in the amount of bank owned props coming on the market (low end, anyway). Not sure if that is due to the moratorium, but there is definitely a lot fewer properties available, and the competition for them is fierce (more so than usual).
Haven't yet noticed any increase in pricing, though

Seeing that over here also. I also think there is a ploy when listing. With mutiple bids coming in on properties and some REO agents getting properties 45 days before they are listed they shop it around to investor friends and also retail buyers. Just this last week I had two where we were in a multi bid state over list price. 2 were cash buyers. I missed the bid as they went higher than I was willing to pay.

I have 2008 Lis Pendens filings in Lee County matched to the tax roll data. There is not as much inventory as people think.
The cream is going quick. In Cape Coral there was cream for water prices, now, it is cream, for milk prices. On the broker side we have 7 pending contracts. 12 offers submitted.
If you are not making money it is by choice.
We are flipping contracts again as well
REOs were mainly what the investors wanted before. Now everyone wants them. Simply a supply and demand thing. I also think agents try to lean on their buyers to go after REOs over short sales. Faster payday. I think the deals are in the short sales, if you can wait out the process time. If regular buyers are encouraged to go after short sales, then the REOs will be left for investors.
Besides, REOs are more distressed, sometimes gutted, and vandalized. Shorts (especially occupied ones) can be locked up under the contract until the bank decides, where REOs can have offers submitted until the decision is made (up to 2 weeks).
Besides owners selling their homes short can buy again a whole lot sooner than with a foreclosure.
More buyers = More sales
More Sales = leveling of the market (sooner than god knows when).
