Banks are aggressively trying to offload foreclosure and bank owned properties as quickly as possible, and investors are also getting back into the game according to an Arizona State University Report in today’s East Valley Tribune.
Each day since the beginning of the year, our inventory continues to go down and our pending goes up. This is exactly what happened in 2004 until in January 2005, we had less than 7,000 active listings in our Phoenix Multiple Listing Service.
