Market Share – Distress Sales

Distress sales are driving the region’s housing market to such a degree now that two-thirds of the existing home closings in the Orlando area in December ’09 involved bank-owned or short-sale properties.

The growing number of desperation sales, combined with the region’s free-falling condominium prices, drove down prices overall last year by more than one-third, to a median of $130,000 compared with a midpoint of $209, 500 in 2008.
