  Over the past three months, my clients and I have presented nine contracts to pre-foreclosure, REO and short sale sellers. Because of the lack of “urban sprawl” in Seattle we do not have the inventory of foreclosure homes that the rest of the country has.

• Too Soon For a Comeback
  
  At present it does not appear that there is enough evidence yet to declare that a market comeback is in the offing. Home inventory continues to be a huge problem for the Realtors, currently up to a 9.9 According to the official statement of the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), a monthly increase in prices was reported between January and February 2008 for seven out of the nine census divisions tracked by the agency.

• Latest Reports Sending Out Mixed Signals
  
  In the present economy, that is a likely possibility that must be considered. Given the time it takes to get a bank to accept a short sale arrangement, and the extended time on the market, plus larger inventories of unsold housing (and let’s not forget about the glut of new housing out there and available as well), what are the chances that ALL these sales are going to go through?

• Bush Foreclosure Solution Just Adds Water
  
  Bush came out with a public policy statement negating any possibility of either a homeowner, or a lender bailout, given the impact the current mortgage crisis is having on the nation’s housing economy. So it comes as a surprise of sorts that the White House issued a statement earlier this week supporting the recent passage of HR 3648 by the House of Representatives, while at the same time asking that a key provision of the bill be watered down to the point of making its implementation temporary at best.
