Looking Closer into the East Bay REO & Short Sale Market

May 23, 2011 by Glen Bell · View Comments 

When I was compiling my latest set of East Bay Housing Numbers, I decided to take a closer look at the distressed property market and chart the sales since the beginning of 2007.

The graphs consist of all sales on a month by month basis for both Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. It also shows what portion of sales were distressed property (both REO and Short Sales) since the beginning of 2007 to current April 2011 numbers.

The influence of distressed properties reached their peak during the first quarter of 2009, consisting of 72% to 76% of all sales in Alameda County, and 81% to 83% of all sales in Contra Costa County.

While the number of REO sales has since declined to its current levels, (48% in Contra Costa County and 55% in Alameda County), the number of short sales have gradually increased, now almost as much of a factor on sales as REOs.
