Regional Home Inventory Spikes

As recently reported by RMLS, it will now take 10.8 months before our region 'runs out of homes for sale.'  This marked increase in the number of competing homes for sale may be due in part to the recent expiration of the popular federal home buyer's tax credit program.  Click here or on the above table to view the entire market report, including specific information for home sales in the greater Aurora area.

Half Year Drop In Local Home Backlog Halted
Our six consecutive month reduction in housing inventory stopped in August, as the figure for competing available homes rose by 1/2 month.  It will now take 7.8 months before our market 'runs out of homes.'

What this one month increase in our local housing supply means is difficult to say.  It could merely be a 'breather' period, or the beginning of another series of monthly increases in competing home inventory.
