Reagor also quotes Tina Tamboer of the Cromford Report, perhaps our most respected market data analyst, who reports that the number of homes for sale is still 32% below the same time last year.Here'a a chart from a presentation Tamboer shared with Cromford subscribers:You can see that we were SO FAR BELOW last year's inventory, that the upticks in inventory are welcomed by buyers who now have more homes to choose from.Latest housing data and trendsPreliminary reports show home sales and prices climbed in March, though both are lagging indicators because the deals were struck at least a month ago, before the coronavirus shutdowns began.
