     The REOs in Florida are typically in terrible shape (excepting FHLMC, strangely enough).  They appraise them at Market Value, subtract whatever the repairs will cost (per the appraiser), then use that number as a List Price.

    The Banks are still trickling them out... probably so that they don't flood the market, and knock prices down.

I know they do them in batches and several were released the first of the year. I think the holidays could have had something to do with that.

No. I'm not seeing this and I keep very close track of this. My BPO volume is also low. I know not all BPOs are distressed properties, but in my area a good percentage of them are.

Brenda,
I just checked and we only have 51 listings that are in any type of bank owned, HUD, VA foreclosure, etc. That is just 2.3% of our 2,170 active listings.

They have pretty much dried up in my market.  I do not believe banks were renting ... I do believe they were holding back inventory and trickling them into the market.

Very few and the ones we see on FHA and again very small numbers. We didn't melt down in 2007-2008 and didn't see price drops except with predatory lending to minorities.
