But in the $100,001 to $150,000 range, where sales were weakest, the numbers have declined by 16.0% during the same time period.
Inventory overall has decreased by 1.2%, and condo inventory had the most effect on that, down 12.9%. The number of single-family homes was actually up a slight 0.1%, which represented 5 properties. That amounted to 12.0 months of single-family supply and 14.1 months of condo supply.
