John Murphy’s MEDINA REAL ESTATE REPORT


Plymouth, MN Foreclosures and Distress Sales - 17% of Inventory November 30, 2008

As we head in to the final month of the year, I thought I would take a look at the distress inventory for Plymouth.  It’s currently running at 16.8%.  That’s based on 78 distress properties out of a total of 465 for sale.  Plymouth has been running about 12-17% for the past few months although the trend is slowly growing in terms of more distress sales.

I have mentioned several times that if you’re buying property today, you should look at the distress inventory first.  It appears I’m not the only one who thinks that way given that distress sales represent twice as much in the pendings as they do in the active inventory.
