Comments from CR: Tom Lawler has been sending me this table every month for several years. I think it is very useful for looking at the trend for distressed sales and cash buyers in these areas. I sincerely appreciate Tom sharing this data with us.
On distressed: Total "distressed" share is down in all of these markets, mostly because of a sharp decline in short sales.
Short sales are down in all of these areas.
Foreclosures are down in most of these areas too, although foreclosures are up a little in Nevada and Mid-Atlantic.
The All Cash Share (last two columns) is mostly declining year-over-year. As investors pull back, the share of all cash buyers will probably continue to decline.
