Inventory is down again this month. With lots of buyers and lack of inventory, we are seeing most properties listed in St. John's receiving multiple offers. CMHC might be classifying our market as balanced in their Newfoundland MLS Trends Report for the 4th Quarter, but we are clearly heading into a sellers market for the early part of 2008.
