As Opposed to “Abnormal” Sales??

In the course of checking MLS for new listings a couple times daily, it sure seems (at least to me) that there’s been an increase in the number of “normal” sales lately.

normalWhat’s that about?

Instead of using “traditional sale” — the accepted term for a sale that isn’t a short sale or foreclosure — the listing agent (representing the Seller) is using a synonym.

In other words:  what’s likely on the rise recently isn’t “normal” sales . . . but the number of newbie agents.   🙂

P.S.:  the other, catch-all term Realtors use for a short sale or foreclosure is “lender-mediated” sale.
