Commentary accompanying the statistics…

Notice of Default (NOD), Notice of Sales (NOS), Trustees Deeds, & REO Listings, declined in February. As mentioned in prior comments, inventory in Nevada is down considerably and the real estate community is concerned about the lack of inventory available in the 1st and 2nd Quarter. According to some numbers provided, new listings on MLS have increased, but not enough for buyer demand. The biggest concern within the real estate industry is the increase in sales prices and a BUBBLE occurring once again. It is hoped that Homeowners who want to sell take advantage of the market conditions and Banks who are holding assets will release a healthy amount of inventory, at an affordable price, to assist in our backlog of buyers waiting.
