It is probably much worse in the fast growing exhurb single family areas (as well as urban/resort high end condos) with all the new product built that doesn't even show up in existing inventory. Those also happen to be the areas with the most speculators holding the bag with no end uses in sight.

Anyone know when a new home actually shows up in existing homes for sale? Does title have to transfer from the builder? What about a new never lived in home marketed in MLS either by usually a small local builder or a flipper which is something I see a lot of these days?

looks like sales took off, then the reaction to the impulse (delayed) is that inventory started to appear, then accelerate

one thing i am curious about in looking at the very low inventories in 04/05 in places like Phoenix and SD is whether the inventory contraction was due simply to increased sales (which gobbled up most existing inventory), or due to a combination of the sales increase AND supply being kept off the market. anybody know?
