Some takeaways:

  • Inventory was already building steadily before COVID, + 20 units in January/February
  • We can assume March data was only partially impacted by the pandemic
  • Just 4 closings in April, lowest in the past 48MO
  • But, new listings were on the light-ish side as well (16), which partially abated the increase in inventory

We are finalizing May numbers but the preliminary data appears more or less flat.

Happy flying.
