Of course on the other side of this short sale coin is the seller. As properties are being leveraged into this short sale position, property owners are beginning to see the substantial price corrections we knew would be coming here in the Gypsum to Vail area. Reality is beginning to hit hard. Homes that are being listed in a short sale situation, and that are not moving quickly, are a reflection of what the actual market value is for the other homes in those areas, which unfortunately for sellers is not very accomodating news.
