A buyer that talks and works with a qualified agent can get this information easily. They just have to make that commitment.

Good morning John. In California it can look like a buyer's market but there is a lag time before it is realized and by then it may be gone. There time to buy is when you are ready. Enjoy your day.

I have never worried too much about which market it was, but have always gone by the rule of thumb with 3 months of inventory being balanced.
