Weekly inventory update

I wondered if anything worth reporting would happen in just three days. Yes. You don't see it in the numbers, but there was quite a bit of activity, old listings back on the market, new listings, a couple into escrow, and others off the market. Net is Santa Santa Monica inventory <$3M is flat, Pacific Palisades <$2M is up 11%, and Palms-Mar Vista is up 1%.

At what point do you think we will have our first surge of inventory this year?

I have looked at past seasonal trends and it seems like we could start seeing an uptick anytime within a month or two.

Someone recently e-mailed me a flier showing that many 90402 listings have been withdrawn from the market...maybe an attempt to be able to legitimately relist and reset the DOM to 0?

Looking back on new listings in SM <$2M in 2007, not bad in January (15) and February (14), then a lot in March (23), April (28), and May (25). (Too bad I wasn't tracking in early 2006 for comparison.)

Inventory end of 2006 was more (53) than end of 2007 (43).

Interesting about the flier; were there any numbers? Could you post its text or scan and email it? That does suggest more new listings soon.
