REinventing MLS
Is There a Window of Opportunity for Sellers Right Now?

- Total housing inventory at the end of January fell 4.9 percent to 1.74 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 4.2-month supply at the current sales pace.
- This represents the lowest housing supply since April 2005 when it was also 4.2 months.

- Raw unsold inventory is at the lowest level since December 1999 when there were 1.71 million homes on the market.
