Knoxville Foreclosure Watch: February 25, 2009

Howdy Ho, Watchers! This week on Foreclosure Watch, active listings were down while pending and closed listings were both up.  Have the investors finally come out to play in this buyer’s market? Only time will tell.

In new listing news, there were 26 new listings last week. 37914 led the pack with 5 new listings, while 37917 and 37921 tied for second place with 4 each. Other zips with more than one new listing last week – 37918, 37922, and 37938. And, of course, 37917 is still the king of new foreclosure listings in 2009 with 32 so far.

There were 12 closed foreclosure listings last week with 2 each in 37914 and 37917. 37917 is winning in this category as well, with 10 closed foreclosure listings so far this year.
