TYPE OF SALE           SFR           CONDO    Standard Sale 24 4 Short Sale 6 2 Bank-owned (REO)     8 1

That adds up to 28 "standard" sales versus 17 “distressed” sales. Compare that to July of 2011 where there were a total of just 15 standard sales and 16 “distressed” sales.  Sales volume is up 45 percent year over year! These numbers show the trend is shifting back to more standard sales and less distressed properties for the first time in almost five years.

So whether your thinking of buying, selling or just like to stay on top of the market, these trends paint the picture that things are finally turning around in the housing market.
