The last BPO I was asked to do was more than five years ago.

I have never done a BPO.  

 People borrowing or refi more in the spring or summer. Banks are too cheap to order appraisals.  Order from 2 or 3 different sources and you get a very picture on home valuation.

Going away? Never.....

Your question makes me glad that I no longer do BPO's.

I've never done one.  We have one REO listing becuase we had the listing prior to REO status.

just saw my first BPO order last week since out market fall. It had been about 5 years. Hope its not a sign.

Nope - have not paid attention to those...

no

We seldom see these.

Marilyn - I wouldn't know as I have never done one, and have no idea how to track how many are being performed.

I have never done BPOs, but know our market sees very few bank foreclosures or short sales. 

No, since BPO's are done in the USA.

Haven't done one for quite a while. But, I just read somewhere that NOD's are on the rise.

I do a lot of BPOs. I'm noticed them slowly dropping off for the last year. This month has been good for me, but they all came at once. Now I've pretty much had the week off from them. I think with the number of distressed properties fading, we are going to see BPO orders fade as well. There will still be refinances and other reasons to do, though. 

In crease in my area, but I don't do them...I can spend my time much better

With rpr now handing over our sold data to the banks and asset managers, you can expect bpos to eventually go away completely.

I finally got them all to stop sending me residential BPOs . . . last one I did was years ago . . . but the market has been improving and more equity than distressed sales is probably why they are subsiding. They'll never go away forever.
