Inventory Watch

by | Aug 13, 2018 | Inventory, Jim's Take on the Market, Market Buzz

I mentioned that Lawrence Yun should talk to some realtors because he could do a better job explaining the dynamics about the inventory.

He keeps saying that there is an inventory shortage, but the number of houses for sale between Carlsbad and La Jolla today is at the high point for year.

They’re just expensive.

In mid-August of 2014 we had 135 NSDCC houses for sale that were listed under $800,000.

Today we have 14!

The number of houses for sale usually peaks in July or August, so the inventory should start to unwind from here as sellers pack it in for the year.
