Although Short Sales are 9% of the inventory, they are 15% of the monthly sales.
We’ve seen that the number of short sales on the market has been declining month over month since the summer. This is a good trend for the Frederick real estate market. We expect that short sales will continue be a part of the market, however, not in the numbers that we’ve seen them.
