John Murphy’s MEDINA REAL ESTATE REPORT

Posted in Plymouth Real Estate, Twin Cities Real Estate, Foreclosures, Distress Sales by JOHN MURPHY on the August 25th, 2008

There is lots of news about distress sales in the media lately.  In some parts of the country distress sales are currently representing 30-40% of the transaction activity.

In Plymouth, MN for 2008, distress sales have represented 14.5% of all closed residential transactions - 76 out of 525 total as of August 24, 2008 and based upon my methodology below.  (I run a custom search in the “Agent Remarks” field in order to pick up various terms.  It’s by no means perfect, but it’s quite good.  Once in a while I pick up what we call in the business, a “normal” seller).

*short sale*,*shortsale*,*bank*,*REO*,*corporate own*,*corp own*,*corp. own*,*3rd party*,*approval*,*foreclosure*,*forclosure*,*pre foreclosure*,*preforeclosure*,*pre-foreclosure*,*as is*,*as-is*,*subject*,*HUD*,*redemption*
