As the statistics relate to listed properties vs. sold properties we have 12 months of inventory overall based on the June closings. Based on the June closings there is only 6 months of inventory for properties listed under $500,000 compared with 10 months at the beginning of 2010, in the price bracket of $500,000 to $1,000,000 there is 17 months of inventory down from 22 months at the end of 2009 and over $1,000,000 there is 46 months of inventory based on the June closed sales. The months of available inventory does vary greatly on a month to month basis based on that months closed sales. Six months of inventory is considered a neutral market meaning it is neither a buyers or sellers market.
