I could almost copy July’s post for Livermore and re-post it here for August, since there was little change. Inventory did increase a little, while pended sales fell a bit, trends evident in all market segments. But the changes weren’t large and the August story for Livermore is pretty much the same as the rest of the Tri-Valley; inventory remains at historic lows, while demand remains very strong.
Overall, there were 90 homes for sale at the end of August, up 8% from 83 at the end of July. August’s inventory was still less than a third of what it was a year ago. Pended sales fell 5%, from 97 in July to 92 in August. There were 78 pended sales in August 2011. Inventory relative to pended sales increased to 1.0 month at the end of August, up from .9 months at the end of July.
