Home Prices rise due to Banks' Holding onto REOs ?

A sharp drop in distressed sales is one of the main drivers behind the steady rise in home prices seen in certain areas throughout the country.

The drop marks the fifth consecutive monthly decline and is more than 10 percentage points lower than the February’s near-record-high of 48.7 percent.
