We all know the market still is wild! Are there more short sales coming? Are the banks doing more or less of the Loan Modifications? Is the shadow inventory going to be released soon? Is there a shadow inventory? Are there less foreclosure? So many questions, and you can have so many different asnwers. So sometimes we have to gage the activity on actual reports.   The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency released their  Second Quarter 2011 Mortgage Metrics Report last week. In that report, they covered the success the banking industry is having in each of several categories regarding the current housing crisis.

So I sold a house a month ago. It was my listing for a house with equity sale. The one shot one kill title may sound a bit daring, but it makes a good point. I am sure after you see and hear the content of the vidoe that the title makes sense. The idea is that I sold a house, a listing where only one buyer showed up in 3 weeks, despite the fair market value of the house. That one buyer did see the house acutally bought the house!  A seller needs only one buyer to sell a house. They don't need 100's of buyers to sell a house. Here is the movie: One of my specialites is working on listing's that don't sell(Expired Listings). Most of these homes have had many buyers walk throgh them, they have had many many open houses and yet they don't sell. Again, One buyer One Sale, one shot one kill... 09/26/2011
