CONCLUSION

Based on the numbers we can see that Seminole is doing better than some other areas in Tampa Bay in regards to distressed properties sales and listings.  For example, Seminole is getting on average around 10% less both in distressed sales and listings than Clearwater.  One interesting fact is that there are 60% pending deals identified as distressed, but only 33.6% actually close as such.  This tells us that traditional, non-distressed sales close a lot faster.  It also shows that many of the pending short sale deals fall apart and don’t close with the buyer who put in the first offer.  We still predict 2011 to be rich with short sales and foreclosures and the market to start climbing back up in 2012.
