After hitting what likely will be the peak inventory in the short term, the active listings came down down 2.9% in August which although is common to see this inventory to drop off due to seasonality, this month we saw double the amount from the 10 year average change in inventory which is closer to 1.5%. One month of data doesn’t make a trend but might appear that sellers are packing it in a month earlier than normal as the normal change in inventory is around 2.8% drop in September and another 7% drop in October and for home buyers and sellers, expect an overall drop of inventory of 30% between now and the end of December.
Whether your just browsing, planning on selling, buying and selling factoring the seasonal changes can help you plan accordingly. The good news for the home sellers that are wiling to stick it out is you can expect less competition on the market and buyers normally are more qualified, the downside is the thoughts and potentials on moving in the winter, which is downside that can be overcome with negotiating longer closes.
