Downtown Inventory Sampler: What's That Sucking Sound ???

It was August 25th when we last visited our ten pet developments. Summer was winding down and resale inventory was low, due to a busy summer buying season this year. Properties that did not sell were taken off the market and sellers who had waited to list were preparing to put their properties up for sale for the beginning of the fourth quarter. Typically, the last active time of year for sales before the holidays and winter rain.

The Fall inventory bump materialized as expected and resale absorption was very respectable. The numbers indicate that sellers got more realistic about price and buyers found the confidence to move forward. The difference between then and now ? 200 Brannan had seven active listings on August 25th, today they have one. The Metropolitan had eleven, now six. That sucking sound I referred to above ? That's new and resale inventory being Hoovered away...
