In the past buyers could expect to see homes list and sell for 205-30% below "traditional" homes sale prices however in recent months move in ready REO (Bank Owned Homes) are listing and selling within 8%-3% of their non distressed counterparts.
So traditional sellers last year you left the market slipping away from you know that the narrowing gap offers you a great opportunity to sell your home.
