Summer Days

What a great summer so far, nice hot days and although we have been busy there is a casual feel to each day that you don’t seem to get any other time of year. At our house we have gone from watching the America’s Cup yachting races to the Tour de France. It makes you want to rent a bike and tour around Europe….well, maybe another summer for that.

There was a surprise with the build up in inventory of homes for sale. Last week I said we had most likely surpassed the record high of last August when I looked at the HousingTracker report of July 2nd. I just took a look to see the July 9th report and we actually saw a decline of 89 homes for sale to 17,906. After you think about last week with a holiday on Wednesday, it is not surprising that there weren’t many new houses being listed. I expect we will see that change this week.
