Don't believe the market is recovering? Then, consider the truth about short sales. They're on the decline. That's a sure sign that the overall market is on the mend.

It's very simple math. When short sales go up, that means the market is going down. When short sales go down, that means the market is going up.

People stop doing short sales because they see the light at the end of the tunnel. They can sense the market is returning and their confidence grows. This is a very good sign of recovery-and it's happening now.

Remember the rules. When pendings are up, buyers are buying. When short sales are down, there is more consumer confidence. All of this points to one very important fact:

The real estate market is back!
