The Meaning of Statistics

Every day I research the MLS to get the current listing statistics for the previous day.  I display them in my blog and website.  What the statistics show are all how listing and selling is a weekday affair.  You will see more listings on Monday and Tuesday than on the mid-week days, and then Friday will handle a greater majority. 

My own findings by manual research shows that about half of the homes placed on the market are private sellers without using the short sales or foreclosure process.  What does this mean to the buyers out there?  It means that a home for sale where the owner has the power to make the sale is pricing their homes correctly and that buyers looking for a good deal don’t have to go along with bank owned or short sales. 

The down side is that my statistics show that half of the homes coming on the market are in jeopardy of short sale or foreclosure.
