| Housing Inventory | Good supply - Some Prices |
| Inventory Comments | Less than 200k is a red hot seller’s market. Inventory is low (about a 4 month supply) and prices are rising. Less than 100k has only a 60 day supply. If you are in that market, waiting to buy will likely be a very expensive wait. Up to about 400k the market is almost perfectly balanced (a 6 month supply) – with no price movement in either direction. 400 - 500k has a 7 month supply valley wide, with slight downward pressure on prices. 600 – 800k has a 13.7 month supply, with easily observable downward pressure on prices. Homes above 800k have almost a 1.5 year supply and those in the 2 – 3 million price range suffer from 1.5 year supply. Total listings are down by 40 units from last month. Total sales for the month of May were up by 508 units over last month. Sales including new construction are down by 2.0% over last year May. I do believe that this is due to the expiration of the tax credit and the low inventory at under $400,000. Short sale deals continue to grow and now represent 21.0% of the total sales in the valley. We currently sit at a 4.4 months of supply in the valley. This may seem balanced but the high end market continues to be stagnant.
