The Under-$1,200,000 market has been fairly steady lately, but those sellers higher up must be feeling a little lonely:

Below shows a big week of new pendings – the busiest week of summer, in spite of Opening Day and Comic-Con. Apparently the buyers aren’t done yet, as long as there are enough sellers willing to get their price right.

    JtR,

    What do you make of Housingtracker? They’ve been showing a big increase in inventory and then today it’s like 4,000 homes sold in a week.

    12,298 to 8,165. Looks like they messed up today or have been messing up for a while.

    Or, there has been an amazing week of sales like never before.

    Ken pointed that out to me a month ago and we agreed that they must have had a blip in their system, which now looks corrected.

    I like following their trend lines, but I have never figured out why their specific numbers are so high.

    Today’s MLS shows 6,241 detached, attached, and mobile homes for sale. If you add the 2-4 unit properties for sale, it only increases by 261 to 6,502.

    They say they track for-sale-by-owners plus others, but hard to believe that those could add another 1,663 but I guess it is possible.
