This is just a simple total: how many properties are available and in which price ranges, regardless of property type, on a particular day, in the Victoria Real Estate Board area.

This graph shows the inventory available in a search of the local MLS on January 1, 2008. I consider it to be a kind of low watermark, after the 2007 listings expired. Does it provide a useful base to compare later as inventory is added during the spring sales season?

Continuing with a previous theme, according to this starting inventory, there is only around 11-12 months of million dollar plus inventory. I intend to track these sales each month, as long as VREB continues to publish them, to see how out of whack the numbers on million dollar plus properties can get from sales, before something starts to give.

Took another look at the total MLS inventory. It is hovering near where it was two weeks ago, the last time I went through this exercise. The decreased inventory is kind of strange considering the number of signs I see these days when I drive around. Driving through the Highlands today it seemed there were more signs than usual. In fact, on some rural corners I saw multiple signs.

Anyway, since my former habit of tracking sales inventory is now in the wobbles of uncertainty, I am trying something different and searching everything listed, without worrying about what or where it is - just search all the listings, and see what shows up.

I thought it would be interesting to look at a breakdown of how many properties are available, and which price ranges have a few or many properties in them.
