I would predict less. As home prices rise pass year 2005, the likelihood of some needing shortsale is much diminished. Also the debt cancellation is taxable as an income, there just isn't that much of an incentive for shortsale.

If the government passes the mortgage forgiveness act, I would expect a little increase in short sale listings.  And, a better percentage of closed sold short sale transactions.

I have seen fewer short sales in my area and hope the trend will continue.

They seem to be decreasing here, and from what I've heard from some of those here who specialize in short sales, they expect this trend to continue.
