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

by Calculated Risk on 5/22/2014 05:45:00 PM

Economist Tom Lawler sent me the updated table below of short sales, foreclosures and cash buyers for selected cities in April.  Lawler writes: "Note the steep YOY decline in the short-sales share, and the significant increase in the foreclosure sales share of home sales in Florida."

Total "distressed" share is down in all of these markets, mostly because of a sharp decline in short sales.

Foreclosures are down in most of these areas too, although foreclosures are up in some judicial foreclosure areas and also in Las Vegas (there was a state law change that slowed foreclosures dramatically in Nevada at the end of 2011).

The All Cash Share (last two columns) is mostly declining year-over-year.
