Marina Del Rey, CA Condominium Market Report for February 2011

Marina Del Rey, CA Condominium Market Report for June 2010.  Well June is in the history books now, so let us see how it fared. Many of us were wondering what the effects will be of the elimination of the Federal Tax Credit and now we shall see.
There were 167 Active listings during the month which is an increase in the inventory by about 9 per cent from the previous month. I am a fan of larger inventory, because the benefits are numerous.
