  1. Surprised that there are only 666 SFHs on the market. Any way to get a break down of the % of SFHs in short sale / foreclosure.

  2. Pent up supply continued to creep up the past two weeks. Currently, 1525 homes are in some state of foreclosure (NODs, NOTS, bank owned) in Ess Eff. This is compared to 1489 homes two weeks ago. Standard disclosures about noise in the data; information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

  3. “…supply continued to creep up…”
    EBGuy – I appreciate your diligence on tracking pent up supply. It seems as if pent up supply tends to move slowly whether it be up or down compared to what one would expect due to “natural” effects. Shouldn’t the count be more volatile considering the stormy seas affecting the RE economy? From an operations research perspective one would think that there was a bottleneck throttling the flow of properties entering NOD or NOT state. Could it be banking administration that is overloaded and understaffed ?

  4. My take, from someone who has vague recollections of a traveling salesman, is that we’re hitting the second hump in the Ivy Zellman CS chart. Slow, steady, downward pressure. Bear in mind, the foreclosures get sold off it’s no small feat for pent up supply to grow (as it appears to be doing). I know, ARMs are resetting to lower rates, but tell it to this guy who’s about to make a business decision come recast time…
