In the sub-$200k arena, there are 1070 listings, with about a 9 month supply of homes. Sales accelerated through November, but then fell off as the first tax credit was slated to end… and the Holiday slowdown hit.  Sales have picked up for both January and February.

Between $200k and $400k, there are 375 listings for sale, and about 18 months of supply.  Sales have slowed dramatically since December, right up through February.

From $400k to $600k, there are 28 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 42 months.  However, with the level of sales in this segment, a couple of sales added or subtracted can have a HUGE impact.  The reason for the drop in months of inventory looks to be the drop in inventory rather than an increase in sales.  There were no sales for either January or February, and only two in December.

In the $600k to $800k arena, there are 15 listings, with about 45 months of supply.  As with the lower priced segment, a couple of sales makes a big difference.

Above $800k there are 7 homes listed and no sales data to give an accurate absorption rate.  There hasn’t been one sale in this range in the last 15 months, according to FMLS.
