Henderson Nevada Bank Owned Homes: Inventory Update, 09-12-09

The widely speculated "second wave" of inventory never hit the Henderson Nevada bank owned homes market this summer. This is confirmed by looking at the numbers below, and seeing that the available REO listings have decreased by about 15% since the beginning of August.

I also heard some interesting news this week. One of our local REO agents said that a major bank was moving asset managers from their REO division over to loss mitigation. This may be a signal that banks are shifting to working with existing homeowners rather than pursuing foreclosures.

For the present, the Henderson REO market remains extremely competitive for buyers. List prices may or may not be accurate, and there are plenty of multiple offer situations where the banks call for 'highest and best.'

If you're looking for a Henderson bank owned home, be ready to write several offers and go above list price. Inventory is down slightly, and there is still a large pool of first time buyers and investors looking for homes.
