So far this year seems to be a different story when compared to last year.. Inventory is down by 50% from last year for single family homes in Manhattan Beach and townhomes in North Redondo. I use these two areas as they seem to reflect the market as a whole.... that is upper end and entry level for the beach cities. Last year they both maintained large inventories for most of the year and the market remained very slow. The decline in inventory appears to be because property is selling not being withdrawn from the market. Prices are still negotiable which is good news for buyers. The market is approaching normal something we haven't seen in years.

Interesting, Kaye. Seems like your market is shifting in a more positive direction. We are seeing some similar shifts here. The absorption rate is below 6 months for several communties, now, and while inventory has increased it is below November's. And we are seeing things that have been sitting on the market now disappearing. Lots more buyer activity and actual action, not just looking. Let's hope it keeps up, but without major price increases.

Thanks for sharing - good info for consumers.
