Wow! Another week of big numbers but really they’re cooked just like the jobs report this week! Many late reporting – Sold’s. One I noticed all the way back to April 15th!

Look! The Equity Sales were king of the hill! Who said there’s not Equity in the marketplace? One third of all US homes have no mortgage against them! You won’t hear that news in the media.

Wow! A bunch of closings this week.

Most likely because people were trying to cash in on the first time homebuyer tax credit which was set to expire at the end of November.

A light week for closings due to the holiday.

Seems just about everyone is checked out for the most part. I put a REO/Bank Owned listing back on the market after the appraiser blew up the deal by triggering excessive lender required repairs. The property is the second least expensive on the market and I’ve only gotten about 5 calls so far.
