Little better numbers this week! At least our absorption rate is not continuing to climb but it has gone up by about 30% over the summer. We’ll see if there’s the typical pickup in the market as the kids are starting to go back to school. Interest rates remain fabulous!

 Whoa! Just when you think it can’t get worse…2 closed sales this week….the short sales are suspiciously absent…what could that be? Another new ineffective government program? HAFA was rolled out the beginning of April…it’s August! Short Sale closings ought to be rockin and rollin by now 4 months, please a regular Short Sale can get done in that amount of time…just a thought…have no proof except the last 2 weeks the short sales closings have vanished….

What is going on in the market? Is it the mid-summer dull-drums….does the economy sucks much worse than we’re lead to believe…our absorption rate has doubled in recent months….that being said we still technically have a shortage of listings. Our absorption rate is at 1 month a normal supply of inventory would be 3-6 months. Less than 3 is a seller’s market and more than 6 is a buyer’s market. Rates are incredible! I had a buyers loan get locked 2 days ago at 4.375 on a 30 year fixed….There’s no other way to put it…that’s a kick *** rate!
