Las Vegas NV Area October 2008 REO Inventory Update: Absorption Remaining Steady

Even though bank owned listings (aka Foreclosures, REO) are seeing an upward tick in absorption, it is still a seller's market! Inventory has risen dramatically (+2047 units), Pendings have dropped -202 units Closing data is up up UP at + 225 units. Even though sales are increasing month to month, inventory is rising at an uncontrolled pace which is causing the absorption rate to rise also. No Inventory change reports available for this month due to last month's report being pulled a month later than usual.

Multiple offers are streaming in as banks continue to lower to fire and auction sale prices.
