Local housing inventory bucks historical trend

Summer is not quite over yet (100 degrees today, I hear) --- but the local housing market is already showing some signs of fall --- and that's a good thing!  Typically our local housing inventory continues to increase through July before starting to decline heading into the fall.  This year, however, we're seeing a decline in local housing inventory earlier than we typically do. 

Perhaps it is the result of more buyers making buying decisions.  Perhaps fewer sellers are trying to sell.  Whatever the reason, it is helping to (slowly but surely) bring more balance back to our local housing market.
