Here is the breakdown as of March 8th, 2010

Spring is arriving and we are seeing inventory increase at a fast rate.  The good news is that the number of properties going Under Contract, is also increasing.

Across the board; inventories are the lowest since spring of 2007 - a sign of true market turn-around.

Here are the number of homes on the market including the number of homes that were taken Off (EXPIRED) the market last week.

It is important to see the number of homes taken "Off" the market.  While many of these homes will return to the marketplace a week or two; seeing a listing "expire" means that the seller and agent thought or expected the home to be sold by now.
