The color change tells it all.
The color change year-to-year says it all. The yellow all over Feb of 2011 (1 yr ago) represented 3 to 6 months supply of homes on the market for sale. Feb 2012 is on the right — we’ve shifted to red, which is less than 3 months supply on the market. It’s called “very low inventory.” Big reason is homes locked up because the value is below what is owed — owners trying to wait it out. “Low inventory” usually means price stablization if not price rises. Take out distressed properties and that IS happening. We’re “in the turn!”
