He's back. Wow inventory is down from 7 months to 3.5 months and if you take the junk that will never sell off then its more like 1.5 months.

Michael, it seems that a lot of markets are similar to yours - I know ours is. But I am surprised that I really haven't read anything significant in the news about this trend. If buyers listen to that (and i have them tell me every day that they do) then in their mind they think they still have all the choices and can take their time before making an offer.
