The accuracy of the data is dependent upon the agent inputting the listing.

When an REO has been on the market for a while, there may be some incentive for the lender to accept a reduced offer, but I have seen them simply pull a property off the market if it doesn’t sell for the price they want. From there, I’m guessing that they might sell it at an auction, or lump it with a few other properties and sell it in bulk at 65 cents on the dollar to an investor able to buy $10,000,000 worth of property at a time.

Short sales can really be a ride. For a great article on short sales, read Jay, the Phoenix Real Estate Guy.
