Postscript: Explanation of Methodology This report relies in part upon the analysis of subjective remarks that REALTORS employ when listing properties in the Twin Cities Regional Multiple Listing Service, and in part upon data fields in this same system called In Foreclosure, Bank-Owned and Short Sale. These fields allow users to mark properties that fit within these legal definitions. A property is a Foreclosure when any of the following rules are met: = Yes One of the following terms are found in Agent Remarks, Public Remarks or Financial Remarks: bank owned bank-owned bank-owned foreclosure forclosure A property is a Short Sale when any of the following rules are met: Short Sale = Yes One of the following terms are found in Agent Remarks, Public Remarks or Financial Remarks: short sale shortsale short-sale in foreclosure in forclosure reo hud acquire hud-acquire hud-acquired corporate owned preforeclosure preforclosure bank approv lender approve subject to bank corporate-owned corp owned corp. owned corp-owned corp owner subject to lender redemption subject to corp subj to corp 3rd-party approval third-party approval 3rd party approve subject to third subject to 3rd Note: properties containing these specific phrases in the same remark fields are NOT counted in either category: not a foreclosure not a forclosure no foreclosure no forclosure not foreclosure not forclosure not a short sale not a shortsale not a short-sale not short sale not shortsale not short-sale no short sale no shortsale no short-sale not a bank not bank no bank tired of short sale tired of shortsale tired of short-sale tired of foreclosure tired of forclosure The methodology was developed by Aaron Dickinson, REALTOR with Edina Realty (www.twincitiesrealestateblog.com) and Jeff Allen, MAAR Research Manager (www.mplsrealtor.com). 2009 Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS, Inc.
