Housing: Inventory will Tell the Tale

Although my crystal ball is cloudy at this point, I believe inventory will tell the tale. That is why I watch inventory closely. Not just the monthly existing home sales report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the monthly new home sales report from the Census Bureau. I also use weekly data from Altos Research (See Altos’ Mike Simonsen’s weekly presentation on YouTube).

And I track inventory and sales for 30+ local markets each month.
…
My Spidey senses are tingling, however it isn’t obvious why this time – or what the outcome will be.

But I believe one thing is certain: inventory will tell the tale!
