The number of new listings during the Summer was relatively steady from 53 – 67; keeping the total “months worth of inventory” (amount of months it would take for all homes to theoretically sell – if no new homes came on the market) steady at around 4-5.

 

This “Total Number of Months of Inventory” is a good indicator that as the inventory has been coming to the market; the pool of buyers who are buying these properties has some inventory to choose from. One could conclude that a home that is priced similarly to the comparable sales in Manhattan Beach, will sell within about four months on average.
