		<description><![CDATA[The National Association of REALTORS has put together a video discussing the amount and type of  &#8217;Shadow Inventory&#8217; nationally.  The biggest problem with such figures is that they are still based off of sampling &#38; definitions of what is or is not counted in the definition.  Regardless of what the actual number is, the video [...]]]></description>
