I noticed an interesting occurrence while I was putting together the Short Sale and REO for sale property updates today.  Reno real estate in the Reno MLS is showing twice the number of short sale properties available for sale compared against the REO or bank owned properties.  There are currently 713 Short Sale properties and 306 REO or Bank Owned Properties available for sale.  Are the REO properties being sold off or are the banks controlling the number of REO properties that come to market?  Food for thought.
