This graph shows how we're making up for lost time, with showings almost double what they were last year. The closed sales are starting to pop too. We did have one more business day this year than in 2019, but the NSDCC sales this month are already ahead of recent...

Inventory Down But Sales Are Strong
San Diego County isn't included in the graph above but the trend is similar. The author is happy to point out the negatives, but with inventory still well under what it was last year and pandemic/unrest raging, it's a miracle that sales are so strong. San Diego...
