As for the number of local homes available for sale, Bishop said it’s still below what would be considered a balanced market but continued its recent rise to what is now a three-month housing supply. By the end of November, GLVAR reported 7,003 single-family homes listed for sale without any sort of offer. That’s up 54.3 percent from one year ago. For condos and townhomes, the 1,605 properties listed without offers in November represented a 118.4 percent jump from one year ago.

The number of so-called distressed sales continues to drop each year. GLVAR reported that short sales and foreclosures combined accounted for just 2.6 percent of all existing local property sales in November, down from just under 5 percent of all sales one year ago and 10.5 percent two years ago.
