Buyers Turning Down Foreclosures?

According to the latest Campbell/Inside Mortgage Finance Monthly Survey of Real Estate Market Conditions buyers are starting to turn up their nose at distressed properties. According to this report, 14% of home buyers and 6% of investors refused to look at foreclosures in their search. Short sales were more of a turn off with 30% of home buyers and 20% of investors saying no thanks.

Avoiding short sales makes sense to me. I guess I could see avoiding REO / Foreclosures in a state that has had legal issues with clear title. If the REOs are in poor physical shape I could understand it too. Neither are really an issue in the Leavenworth real estate market.
