My thoughts: There was an uptick in under agreements, showing activity has picked up during the past couple of weeks. The increase in the number of units on the market means owners are encouraged enough to test the waters to see if they can sell, this spring. Last year around this time there were 7.55 months of supply; this week, there are 10.5 months of supply. Meaning, if every property on the market today was sold, it would take 10.5 months to exhaust the supply. Equilibrium is somewhere between five and eight months, most people believe.
