West Pasco County, Florida Single Family Distressed Market Update
Well one good thing is that inventory levels continue to drop in West Pasco. We are down to just over 9.2 months of inventory on the market. That being said, the number of homes in each category has dropped compared to last month. So there is less Inventory on the market, but there are less homes under contract and less homes selling in November 2009

In the graph below you will see the breakdown of the above chart into normal listings and Single Family Residences that are in some form of Distress. Being in distress means: Pre-foreclosure, Short Sale, Bank owned, or in foreclosure. What jumps out at me immediately was how most properties offered for sale in West Pasco are not under distress. But that reverses for what is going under contract. However, you will than see the reason so many people do not want to get involved in Distressed properties. They can take a long time to close, or fail to close all together.
There are more than twice as many normal Active listings as there are Distressed active lsitings.
But there are almost twice as many distressed listings under contract than normal listings under contract.
However the number of normal listings that actually sell are over twice as many as distressed sales

Also, using the breakdown above, there is only about 9 months inventory of non-distressed properties
Where as there are 10 months inventory of Distressed properties, but I think that this number may be misleading due to how long it takes a distressed property to get to closing
Long story short, there are some signs of improvement and there most definitely are some opportunities out there. But it most certainly is not all rosy yet.
Year over Year there seems to be some stability in the prices, but December and January are usually slow, closings-wise. Most people buy before the Holidays, or after. Which translates into closing before Thanksgiving, or waiting until the New Year to find a home and go under contract, however they probably will not close until February at the earliest.
