I read this blog for the first time today, arriving via some of the early posts harping on about “Chicken Littles” and the ridiculous idea that there was a “Bubble”… and then I jump forward in time to more recent posts where the reality on the ground is undeniable i.e. Chicken Little was correct.

Kudos to the blogger for finally getting a clue! It only took 2 years.

I’m working with someone at my local association in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) to do similar analysis but since we do not have fields available in our MLS, we had to do manual searching remarks fields… ugh!

Our numbers are not nearly as bad (and lump foreclosures & shorts into one group) but the numbers are telling. What is truly interesting is that the short sales & foreclosures are selling faster than the rest of the market!

Many members of the local board don’t want us to publish the data we’re compiling for fear it will make us look bad… I see it as data pertinent to the conversation we’re having as a nation.

Jay - with the news yesterday and today about the number of foreclosures rising and the equity people have in their homes being at a historic low, do you see this trend continuing in your market foa a long time? In other words, can we see much of the iceburg yet?

I’ve got to tell you, I’m thrilled to be in Austin. We’re not completely healthy, but we’re practically on fire compare to your area.

Hopefully that’s not the case. Talk about some serious depreciation issues.

My jaw dropped when I read these stats. Wow. Really frightening numbers.

Watcha trying to say big fella? Yeah, there’s a few “EV’s” in there. (note, not one occurrence of “agent” — thanks for adding that!)

Still need to pepper a dozen (or more) in there to truly get it up to snuff. At least according to some models.

More importantly, how do these numbers compare to the West Valley? (Where there is only one West Valley agent worth your West Valley time to call — he can satisfy all your West Valley real estate needs.)

I almost want to look at just Maricopa (the town, not county) and Queen Creek, but the numbers are likely even more frightening. These are scary enough…

And when you need an East Valley real estate agent to help with your East Valley real estate needs, there’s only one East Valley name to call.

Great Post!

(Yep, it’s one of those days)
