Foreclosures are extremely rare in Ontario because powers of sale are easier and preferable to do from a legal point of view.  Both of these as well as short sales are not common.  We have a very active market with rising prices for many years.

Marketing for them? NO.

I seek neither buyer or sellers for short sales.

However, sometimes you need to do what must be done which sometimes means choosing the least ugly.

Even though I did a few hundred between 2006-2012, I never marketed to them, as there was no choice but to do them in SD,CA. That market largely vanished in 2012. There are a few random ones but mostly gone.

Short sales are still around, but i don't seek them out. i might be writing an offer on a foreclosure soon though. There isn't much differenence between a foreclosure and standard sale usually.

Unfortunatly New Jersey still has quite a few short sale properties and foreclosures. I do find that the people who try to buy them are usually unreasonable when making an offer. I only have one short sale property left in my inventory and once its gone I will try to keep away from short sales etc. and work only with equity sales.

Short sales not so much, but I still list and sell foreclosures. The investor activity is still very high on these types of homes.

There's still a demand, but very much a shortage of supply.  I find that those looking for these "bargains" are often living in the past and don't understand today's markets.

I thought it was over but got a REO listing this year. The demand for short sale is always there as people want a good deal.
