MARKET ACTION
report for Lane County, OR
for AUGUST, 2009.
The summary of that RMLS report says the
MONTHS OF AVAILABLE INVENTORY
moved back up to 7.8 after being at 6.3 months in July.
The MONTHS OF INVENTORY ratio is computed by dividing the number of active listings at the end of the reported month by the number of closed sales during that calendar month.
For areas with no closed sales during the month, the ratio is shown as infinity.
Unmentioned in the RMLS MARKET ACTION summary is the fact the report's aggregate numbers do not include the coastal portion of Lane County (including Florence, Dunes City, Mapleton). The current inventory is much higher in Coastal Lane County due to a sharp decline in the number of retires coming from out-of-state.
As usual, that published county-wide number tells little about what's happening with homes for sale in any specific neighborhoods of Eugene, Springfield and Lane County, OR that might interest you.
As usual, the MONTHS OF INVENTORY is much less in Eugene-Springfield than in more outlying areas.
Here is the MONTHS OF REMAINING INVENTORY and other important numbers for each RMLS market area within Lane county:
