According to real estate experts, as long as the demand stays stable as it has been last year or so, realtors are positive that they can sell those homes in a considerable amount of time. Additionally, gross inventory on the Multiple Listing Service is immaterial basis for housing supply. The more vital number is the 8,049 available units that have not received any order. There is a reported boost in short sales and fallout in sales of foreclosed homes. Short sales, or homes sold for less than the mortgage balance, accounted for 29 percent of sales last May, up 7 percentage points from February. At the same time, financial institution owned home sales went down from 53 percent in February to 40 percent in May. While the prices now starting to be stable, realtors are beginning to see more houses on the market.

I don’t see a huge change in the housing market anytime soon. It seems that the politics of the day aren’t favorable to a recovery at this point.
In some states there are clearly some indications of change in the real estate market as sales rate are currently increasing and do hope that on the upcoming months it would be likely stable.
Great post

I agree with your review about the increase in short sales and a decline in foreclosed homes sale and I would say that this situation is currently in every start of US and most of other countries too.
what government agency helps you with home improvements? are there any grants to help with home improvements?
Hopefully as time goes by, Real Estate Market will go back again to its shape. Therefore, the target sales would be met by each real estate agency.
With all the bank repos the past few months, I think banks are going to start taking lesser offers than they normally would to get rid of them. As soon as homebuyers catch on (not just the investors), I think this will turn around. Hopefully, anyway.
Short sales are increasing, but some banks still make them very hard to get done for those facing foreclosure. There needs to be a way to make them more efficient, I saw a report recently that said at some banks it can take 10 months to a year and a half just to get a short sale approved.
