Lawler: Table of Distressed Sales and Cash buyers for Selected Cities in July

by Calculated Risk on 8/21/2013 06:32:00 PM

Economist Tom Lawler sent me the updated table below of short sales, foreclosures and cash buyers for selected cities in July.

From CR: Look at the two columns in the table for Total "Distressed" Share.  The share of distressed sales is down year-over-year in every area. 

Also there has been a decline in foreclosure sales in all of these areas (except Springfield, Ill).  

And short sales are now declining year-over-year too!  This is a recent change - short sales had been increasing year-over-year, but it looks like both categories of distressed sales are now declining.

The All Cash Share is mostly staying steady or declining slightly.  The all cash share will probably decline as investors decrease their buying.
