Nearly 12% of the pending short sales closed last month. While that may not sound like anything to write home about, that is way up from the usual 8% range that has been pretty typical. June sales that have been recorded so far are way up overall with 2,879, which is the best in four years. Of that number 730 were short sales, which is definitely the biggest number I recall seeing since I have been watching them. The number of pending short sales has dropped by about 600 to 6,092 while the active short sales remains in the 5,700
