Here is West Seattle real estate market sales report for 2011. Majority of the sales in West Seattle were non-distressed properties, with a sales percentage of 69% compared to Forelcosures at 19% and Short Sales being 12%.
I noticed that non-distressed properties were fetching higher sales prices and were on the market less than distressed properties. I believe its due to Buyers not wanting to wait for a short sale to get approved in 90-120 days and the foreclosures that were selling needed work, therefore forcing Buyers to think twice about fixing a home and being cash poor.
