As any of our long-term readers know, we update our Tallahassee Market Bulletin page about twice per week, showing the inventory movement in the Tallahassee real estate market. We have been looking closely at the 180 day trend on inventory flows to hopefully see it drop below the “zero” line and thus show that inventory is being reduced in Tallahassee. Well take a look at this…
Housing Inventory In Tallahassee (180 Day Trend)
All of our trend lines indicate a reduction of inventory. As we have discussed here in the past, WE WILL NOT SEE THE MARKET TURN until we see inventory being reduced. While this graph is a great sign, we have a long way to go. What we really are seeking is the one-year trend of inventory reduction. Unfortunately, we only began measuring this data this year and it will take many more months to be able to confirm or refute a one year trend of inventory reduction.

That’s interesting because US Home Sales up-turn by 3.1% in July
According to the American private National Association of Realtors, home sales increased by 3.1% in July. More Americans waded into the housing market last month, lured by falling prices that helped send sales to their highest level this year.

I think I need that instructional video because it is really difficult for me to understand this information.
That’s a pretty quick leap your making there “your right move” and of course I hope your right.
“That’s interesting because US Home Sales up-turn by 3.1% in July”
That statistic is completely irrelevant.
While it is true sales were up 3.1% between June 2008 and July 2008, that statistic completely ignores seasonality. Real estate sales *always* increase between June and July nationally. That’s just the seasonal nature of real estate. Would you also conclude that the toy market is doing well just because toy sales increase between November and December?
A much more representative statistic is to compare July 2007 sales to July 2008 sales. Using that comparison, sales were *DOWN* 13.2%. In fact, the July homes sales in 2008 was the lowest in a decade:
To imply that that national housing picture is improving based on an increase between June and July is disingenuous at best. It certainly doesn’t tell the truth about the national market.
I agree with you John. I just checked my numbers going back to 1996 and this July was the worst by far. It is clear that the discretionary buyers have left the market and we will have to see continued reduction in the inventory to bring them back into the market.
