My gut tells me while inventory is low, prices will continue to rise.

Right now there's a cap in colorado on how much a place can be rented or how much inventory a PM can rent.

Great points by @Dan Heuschele, and if the White House decides mull any capital gains tax you can add those properties to the possible increase in inventory as well

You're likely seeing an increase in prices because on-market inventory is low.

Finding one to buy at the right price is the toughest because inventory is low, but once I find one, I am off to the races and they sell pretty quickly. 

In El Dorado Hills CA during the same 7/13 to 7/20 period 33 homes went pending status and 17 had multiple offers.This is not to say that as a market we are short on inventory, however the accuracy of data provided is very important.

There isn't much inventory to pick from and when there is, it's flying off the shelf.

Hey @Tony Bermeo the inventory is pretty limited in this zipcode.
