Is that all we do is REO?

Sometimes, it seems like all we deal with right now is bank owned properties. So, just for sanity I calculated a few of my own statistics for Placer County, California. Out of the 2,561 residential homes sold since April 2008, almost 60% were not bank owned (REO) properties. If I just look at the past 30 days it's 62%. In talking with Chris Headrick of Mortgage & Investment Consulting, he sees even larger gains in the percentage when looking at specific communities within the county.
Good note for buyers - don't just focus on bank owned properties. There are many good buys out there from traditional sellers. Don't think all the 'good buys' are stressed sales! Shop around.
