Is Inventory Dropping?

By

Lots of signs that inventory is dropping - at least in the lowest price ranges.  My leads are pouring in at this point I can barely keep up but everyone wants the elusive "great house" under $250,000.  At least in my market of Palm Springs those are almost gone.  There is very little to show and what is left is really getting long in the tooth. 

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this same thing?  Middle range and more expensive properties still stagnant but the lower end properties flying off the shelf?

Nothing flys off the shelf, in my resort based / discretionary area, but it is "busy", and about a month earlier than the "norm", and it's in the low end options.    I'm noting, though, a very recent (as in past week) rise in both inquiries/showings of the higher end.    It's the middle that remains inactive, in my area.

Property Management the way it SHOULD be.

Yes, smart money is flowing back into the market as cash-rich investors are making a killing at the low end. These are the markets where millions are made.

The inventory in our area is still on the rise but customers are coming out now, mostly on the low end level.  Mid range is not moving.  Very few inquiries on the high end.
