Thanks

what do you think is causing the shortage of inventory?

people who want to sell but who are holding back waiting for a rebound, or people who are happy in LA and who plan to stay a while who really don't need to sell and don't plan to sell

Obviously it would cause a crash on the W side if there was huge inventory waiting in the wings,

Keep in mind that most of the SFR owners in 90402 and 90403 don't NEED to sell, therefore the majority of the inventory you will see is from builders or the result of a divorce, death, or out-of-state job transfer (and some of those will simply lease their properties rather than sell).

ed

can you explain what the implications are ?

I mean is it logical to assume that 90402 won't crash because very few people in 90402 need to sell?

Please be clear

Just curious. Where do you get your inventory numbers. I'd love to look at the numbers in my hood on the eastside.

Filmo, I track them from the local MLS in a spreadsheet, one line per property, noting listing date, price changes, and when no longer availble. Or you could get the same info from Zip Realty.

Quicker would be to just log the total number available in an MLS area, city, or zip code over time (like Bubble Markets Inventory Tracking does by county).

It must be people taking their home off the market and waiting to see what happens in the new year. As I see it, there are already more people looking this year than in previous, according to my stats. I think Feb and March are going to prove to be big.
