The amount of inventory is up 11.6% from last June and the sales are down 7.7%. The opportunity for sale dropped from last June to this June from 37.7% to 31.2%. It’s also gone down from last month when it was 37%. This figure is a nice way to guage how much is selling each month vs the absorption rates. I find that eyes glaze over whenever I use that stat, but this very real "you only have a one in three chance of selling your house this month" is a better way to understand your competition for sale.
As always this is a broad look at a zip code and not indicative of every neighborhood. But collectively it’s a great tool to see the relative health of the area. The county only had a 13.6% chance for sale last month!

Certainly the numbers are moving in the right direction: inventory was slightly down, sales were slightly up and the chance for sale has climbed from that ugly low in January to 37% last month. It is down from last year at the same time (when the chance for sale was 49.1%) when inventory was lower and there were also more sales. Inventory is up 28% and sales are down 3.6%
We’ll be watching for the financial markets to strengthen and for credit to loosen up even further to allow more homeowners to purchase since this chart spans all housing types and price ranges in the zip code. Compared to the county as a whole this zip code is still faring better since the chance for sale was only 11.2%. Yikes.
