Region 11: Though down from the 1st half of 2010, the share of distressed sales in Region 11 (Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming) rose from 39% in the 3rd quarter to 43% in the 4th quarter. The shares for both short-sales and foreclosures rose over this time period.
Region 12: A 51% majority of agents surveyed in Region 12 (Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska) felt that prices would decline over the next year. However, roughly 49% expect prices to rise over this same period and with 3% anticipate an increase of 5% to 10%. This discrepancy likely reflects disparate local economic conditions within Region 12.
Region 13: Only 30% of homes purchased in Region 13 (California, Hawaii, and Guam) during the 4th quarter involved a down payment of 10% or more. The largest share of buyers at 25% put down 1% to 2%, while 15% of buyers put down no money at all.
