Seattle Real Estate: Preforeclosures, Short Sales, Foreclosures (REO Bank Owned) - They are out there - Adjusting loans have caused a surge in the volume of this type of housing investment. What does this mean to Seattle's real estate market for sellers?

How do these distressed Seattle properties affect your ability to sell your house if you are a Seattle seller?

I found over 100 Seattle area short sale listings in the NWMLS search I ran today. I found even more Seattle REO properties available for sale. The sheer volume is definitely affecting the market time for Seattle real estate that has nothing to do with short sales, preforeclosures, or foreclosure. A traditional seller might get discouraged, but there are ways to set yourself apart from these troubled properties. Your lack of deferred maintenance alone should put you ahead of the pack.
