In MARCH, 2012 the number of closed sales in Santa Clara was at a four-year low, but the inventory in terms of active listings also reached a four-year low. Of the two, the reduction n the inventory was the more important. Sales price was level with last year....a glimmer of evidence that the market may be stabilized - at long last.

In January, the number of closed sales in North Gilham reached at decade-long high. What a way to start our new year! Inventory sits at a four-year low - still painfully high compared to the years of the boom, but improving. Despite those positives, average price was down in January. But it was up in December. Perhaps the February number will be better.
Below you'll see that the number of Closed Sales in JANUARY in Ferry Street Bridge ties the decade high - while the inventory of Active Listings is at a six-year low. At the January rate of sales, Ferry Street Bridge now has a 5.5 month inventory. Those factors certainly explain the month's up tick in Average Price. Let's hope it is a sign of things to come.

Then today, I commented on, my friend, Todd Clark's (17 comments)
