This isn't much of a discussion...just thought it was interesting to share. One of my agents submitted an offer on behalf of his clients (bank owned listing). He learned that he lost out - to one of forty-eight offers on the property!
Further evidence that banks are pricing homes to sell!

Yup - it's different than it was in the early '90s.  Banks have learned from eBay and the like - price it low and let the buyers bid it up.  It works to thier advantage and I don't blame them.  Plus, it gets the bad inventory out of the system faster!

It's also a sign that the market is changing again. I mean, 1/2 year ago, there weren't 48 offers on a property and now, there are, those are 48 potential buyers! People are out there buying, good news for the industry!

Can you provide a link to the property you're referring to or at least let us know what the bank was asking originally and what the property ultimately sold for?

I get suspicious when realtors or agents make what could be self serving statements,especially in times when it may be more difficult to make a living,

The house across the street went into foreclosure and eventually ended up in auction.  One person turned up at the auction.  I can't see any big turn around here!

My buyers have to submit an offer sight unseen just to have a chance at our offer being considered.  The all cash buyers (investors) are beating the first time home buyers every time.  It is really hard to get clients a home.

10-15 offers on average for houses under $200K, in Reno NV. Above $200K the story is very different and houses are moving like sludge.

"At the NAR, we have the publics interest at heart"..


The NAR wields substantial power as a lobbying organization on behalf of agents and brokers; in 2005, NAR had the largest Political Action Committee in the United States. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the association is the United States' third-largest donor to political campaigns, having given since 1990 more than US$30 million. Of this sum, an average of 47% has gone to Democrats and 53% to Republicans. Key political issues for the group revolve around federal regulation of the financial services industry.

"The all cash buyers (investors) are beating the first time home buyers every time."

Near a depression, skimming off a deep recession!  GDP down, borrowing by banks (who got burnt by RE) down, unemployment up, RE investors declaring bankruptcy, and all of sudden we have investors sprouting up with cash!

Talk about a resurrection of the dead !
