Summary
Despite continued strong demand, the 67% YOY decline in inventory is restricting sales and driving up prices. The shortage of available listings is most prevalent in the entry price ranges. Under-$250k YTD sales (through March 9th) are down 23%. Sales in the $250-$500k range are up 15% and price per square foot for those sales rose 18%. Over-$500k sales jumped 56% compared to last year, but values in the upper price ranges have been flat. The slow arrival of new listings is causing a decline in new pendings. Expect inventory shortages to fuel buyer competition and rising prices.
