That is a very low number, 3.9. I'm guessing the Sellers are pretty happy. Is there much new construction in the area?

Carla, I was surprised at the numbers. Your market changed quickly from a buyer's market to a seller's market based on the absorption rate. Homeowners must have decided it is a good time to sell since your inventory is way up, as are sales so there are enough buyers. I am surprised though that the home values have come down slightly. With these home values "so low" (compared to our CA market) do you find that there are more Californians buying vacation homes?
