Residential inventory in the Bay Area of CA appears to be climbing. Here in San Ramon (Pop 30,000+-) there are 72 listings. still low, but up from 30 a month ago. Sales have been running about 60 per month.

A balanced market would be expected to have 3-5 months supply of listings.

When the psychology turns, buyer will stop paying $40K to $90K above asking for 1400 sq.ft. starter homes, and start holding back. Similar to what happened in early 2001. Prices dropped about 10% in the central Bay Area from 2/2001 through 12/01. It takes several months for the psychology to change
