Real Inventory Rate equals "Real" Unemployment Rate

As many people are now struggling with unemployment we hear about the "real' unemployment rate. The "real" unemployment rate includes people who have given up trying to find work or who have taken part time work and are no longer searching for permanent full time employment. Obviously in this economy the "real" unemployment rate is higher than the 10.00% unemployment rate announced by the U.S. Labor Department on Friday.

The inventory of homes for sale in any market can be looked at in the same way! We have the currently listed homes which is comparable to the current unemployment rate. We have expired and withdrawn listings which did not sell in 2009. These listing are comparable to the people who gave up looking for work. Combine these numbers together and you get the "real" inventory of homes for sale in the market. We should count on the expired and withdrawn listings hitting the market in 2010.

What does that mean for people selling their home today or in 2010? It means that December might be a lot better to sell a home than in the "Spring" market. Beating the rush of homes coming on the market now, may mean beating the glut of homes coming on the market in the coming months. Take a look at the current inventory numbers in your price range and the expired and withdrawn listings from the last few months when you are looking at the market.

Buyers looking in December and January are serious buyers. Tire kickers do not go out in the cold and snow. Interest rates are still historically low, and with the national debt climbing sooner rather than later rates will be heading higher making homes less affordable. And don't forget the new $6,500 move up credit for buyers only lasts 143 more days!
