The Single‐Family Home Prices figure above shows the three‐month moving average price of existing homes and new homes.Existing homes are single family homes that were exchanged from one private owner to another. This includes homes sold byreal estate agents, owners, and lenders. New homes are single family homes that were exchanged from a builder to a privateowner. The other figure, Single‐Family Homes Sales, illustrates the number of those transactions for both existing and newhomes. A seasonal pattern is obvious in the Single‐Family Home Sales graph, with, more home sales during the summer thanduring the winter.

Nevada Single-Family Homes for Sale
NevadaStatewideTrends
Page| 6
Single‐Family Distress Sales is a figure that displays the monthly number of Real Estate Owned (REO) sales and short sales.REO sales are homes that have been repossessed by lenders through foreclosure and then sold in the market. Short sales, onthe other hand, are homes that were sold for an amount below the owner’s outstanding mortgage balance. Both numbers arethree‐month weighted moving averages. The other figure, Share of Distress Single‐Family Home Sales, tracks the proportion ofhome sales (including new home sales) that were REO sales or short sales. The long term decline in that share continues, evenas the number of such sales remains roughly level, indicating an increasing number of “normal” sales.

The Foreclosure Trends figure includes two series: the 90+ Days Delinquent series and the Foreclosure Inventory series. The90+ Days Delinquent series consists of the number of homes that are secured by a loan in default for 90 days or more. Thisincludes homes that are in the process of being foreclosed. The Foreclosure Inventory series consists of homes that have begunthe foreclosure process or are in some stage of foreclosure. The other figure depicts what proportion of homes secured by amortgage have positive equity or negative equity. When a home has a market value at or above its outstanding mortgagebalance, it is consider to have positive equity. Otherwise, the house has negative equity.

These two figures are based on numbers gathered from County records by RealtyTrac. The first figure shows the monthlynumber of Notices of Default and Repossessions. The Notice of Default (NOD) is the initial stage of foreclosure that starts atleast 90 days after the homeowner’s mortgage default date. Not all homes that receive a NOD will necessarily be foreclosed.There exist other alternatives homeowners can invoke such as a loan modification, deed‐in‐lieu of foreclosure, and short sale.The other figure, Residential Home Auctions, shows the monthly number of homes that received a Notice of Trustee Sale andunderwent a public auction. It includes both the successful and unsuccessful auctions. Those that were unsuccessful revertback to the lender.

These figures rank Nevada nationally on the basis of data provided by The Mortgage Bankers Association’s NationalDelinquency Survey. The Top 20 States in Foreclosure Inventory uses the proportion of outstanding loans that are in theforeclosure inventory ‐ that is, the number of home loans reported to be in some stage of foreclosure divided by the totalnumber of home loans serviced. The Top 20 States in Foreclosure Starts is a ranking that uses mortgage foreclosure starts as apercent of stock. In other words, this is the number of initiated foreclosures divided by the total number of home loansserviced.
