Continuing on the subject of my previous post, here’s a look at the market composition of organic versus short sales versus bank REOs (Real Estate Owned – foreclosures or deed in lieu of foreclosures):

So about 3/4 organic listings, 1/5 short sales, and about one in twenty are bank REOs.

Now take a look at the closed transactions over the past 30 days (from 10/14/09):

Well, you can sure see where the action is -  bank REOs.  Only about one in twenty listings are REOs, but they disproportionately represented almost one in three of the total sales.

Surprisingly, it’s the organic sales that are most underrepresented.  The proportion of short sale listings to short sale closings isn’t that different.  And these are actual closings, not pendings.  As you can see in my previous post, the majority of short sales that close go pending multiple times.
