It has become very hard for traditional sellers to compete with all the short sales and REOs. We are seeing the same trend here in Ventura County, CA.

I think you're right Andy - short sales may very well be getting a little more efficient - I just hope we don't have to wait until 3009 but sometimes I wonder. ;) Seriously, I just noticed in a market analysis that I did, I actually saw an increase in the percentage of short sales that actually closed and the days on market had decreased. Hopefully that's a good sign. Thanks for visiting Andy and Irina.

Less inventory, what is selling is bank owned properties. They are getting multiple offers at and even above asking. Short sales should be getting easier in 3009 as more pre approved short sales hit the market. Yes, same thing here in Ann Arbor MI. Less inventory, what is selling is bank owned properties.

We are experiencing similar issues in Pasadena with volume being the most striking change over the last few years. Great overview of OC real estate!
