Well here it is the January 2012 and if you believe in the Mayan calander, it's earths last year. If you don't, your not alone and you may need to buy or sell a house this year.
A look back shows that in November 2011 46% of the sales were either short sales or REO's. One problem: Distressed homes sell for a lot less than homes sold by conventional sellers. The average price for a short sale (when borrowers owe the bank more than their homes are worth) was $209,000 in November. For a regular sale, the average was about $259,000.
The numbers are even worse for REOs, which averaged about $190,000 for properties in move-in condition.
