It's currently a declining market here in Eagan, MN.  And we're predicting another 10% drop in housing prices between now and the spring.  We're seeing a lot of loan modifications fail, plunging homeowners info foreclosure. There are several different types of distressed properties - short sales, pre-foreclosures, foreclosures, bank-owned, etc.  Each type of property plays by it's own rules and can potentially represent a phenomenal deal, or a dire money pit.  Last month in Eagan foreclosures - approximately 8% of the single family home sales were Eagan short sales while 16% were foreclosures.  Check out this video for the detailed housing market stats for September 2010:       10/15/2010
