With 44 Lis Pendens filed last week at least we're keeping ahead of the pace.

How were those sales divided up? How many in SoWal, South Walton, Walton County locations such as Sandestin, Miramar Beach, Top Sail, Seascape, WaterColor, Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, Seacrest, along 30A etc., versus over in the city of Destin in Okaloosa County? What is the zip code breakdown?

Can anyone estimate based on last month figures what percentage of those that go pending actually go through? What's the failure rate basically?

where is this information hidden away?   i.e., what homes/lots when contingent this week?

Great News Joe!  We have been swamped with showings and glad to report lots of offers.  Some are working some are not but the bottom line is activity!  We both know activity breeds activity!  I have had a few deals where the seller has told the buyer to take a hike!  Have not had that happen in awhile.

I'm not a realtor so I don't have the access you guys have to the MLS.  Do you know what the current inventory numbers are as expressed in "months of inventory"?

[quote="AAbsolute, post: 546915"]How'd you do that?[/quote]

As a Realtor, one of our searches is called a "hotsheet". This will allow us to go back 7 days and the search can include all properties at once. If you want to go back more than 7 days then you have to seacrch each individual property category. It is a little time consuming but can be done, for a real Buyer (Ha).
However, if a home went pending 30 days ago and then sold 2 weeks later then it is going to show as a sold (status). So, our program that we use is a fluid program. It is very easy for a recent 7 days period but a little more difficult for more than that.

Maybe another Realtor can give me information that I am not aware of.

How accurate is this?  (margin of error)
 
In the Single Family Cat. 14 to 20 months of total inventory is not bad considering much is priced high.  If there is a pickup in May and June the numbers could become under 12 months of inventory real easily.  I know that as inventory decreases the rate of absorption increases dramaticly.
