Southern Utah Housing Inventory Continues to Drop

By SaintGeorgeHomes.net

As I had mentioned in one of my more recent postings, Saint George’s MLS inventory has been steadily decreasing over the past few months. Well as it turns out were not alone. I ran across this article in the Wall Street Journal while doing my morning reading…

“The supply of homes available for sale in 28 major metropolitan areas at the end of May was down 3.9% from a month earlier, according to figures compiled by ZipRealty Inc., a real-estate brokerage firm based in Emeryville, Calif. The ZipRealty data cover all single-family homes, condominiums and town houses listed on local multiple-listing services in metro areas where the firm operates. On a national basis over the past 25 years, inventories typically have shown little change in May from April levels, according to Zelman & Associates, a research firm.

Compared with the year-earlier month, the May inventory in the 28 metro areas was down 24%. The National Association of Realtors says about four million homes were listed for sale nationwide at the end of April. That was down about 11% from a year earlier.” Please follow this link to view WSJ Story and Graphs
