Lawler: Preliminary Table of Distressed Sales and Cash buyers for Selected Cities in April

Economist Tom Lawler sent me the preliminary table below of short sales, foreclosures and cash buyers for a few selected cities in April.

On distressed: Total "distressed" share is down in most of these markets mostly due to a decline in short sales (Mid-Atlantic is up year-over-year because of an increase in foreclosures in Baltimore).

Short sales are down in these areas.

The All Cash Share (last two columns) is declining year-over-year. As investors pull back, the share of all cash buyers will probably continue to decline.

From Lawler: Note: The Baltimore Metro area is included in the overall Mid-Atlantic region (covered by MRIS). I am showing it separately because a large portion of the YOY increase in the foreclosure share of home sales in the Mid-Atlantic region was attributable to the almost 85% YOY increase in foreclosure sales in the Baltimore Metro area.
