Finding The Market Turn

I'm using this weekend to catch up on a lot of the market data that we have been collecting. As the summer selling season winds to an end and the fall season begins, I wonder how the inventory in the Tallahassee real estate market is going to be affected. If I am to believe that these short term trend graphs will continue to the long-term trend graphs, then we are viewing evidence of the market turn!

In my opinion, inventory movement is the most important measurement of the strength of a real estate market. If homes are moving, then prices are going to be stable. If housing inventories are stacking up, then we are going to see pricing preasure.

Based on this belief, we track the inventory in the Tallahassee real estate market almost daily. For current reports, you should bookmark //markets.php, as we update it at least twice per week with new Tallahassee housing inventory reports.

I am hoping that the current inventory reports are showing us the first signs of the market turning in Tallahassee. From past posts, you may have noticed that the short-term trends are all showing inventory reduction, and we are seeing the medium-term trends move towards inventory reduction. While none of these reports contain a long enough term to declare the market turned, the signs are exciting.

As we can see in the graphic above, the short-term trend in Tallahassee is showing we are reducing housing inventory by 7 homes per day for the past 30 days, or 3 homes a day for the past 90 day. The 180 day trend, while still showing growth, has been dropping to where now we are only showing growth of 1/4th of a home per day! Keep watching this graph over the next few weeks and I suspect we'll see the 180 day trend move to inventory reduction.
