• A great place to begin for local data is home
  sales inventory.
• Inventory is the range of houses you can purchase
  or ready to be placed on the market.

  demand similar to all the other market. Local
  economic situations can supply hints why
  inventories are so high and costs are extremely
  low. Think about the Bakken oil growth in North
  Dakota. Jobs are so abundant everyone is coming

  values are increasing because inventories are
  nearly down to nothing as a result of strong need.
