The news was good for housing inventory in Monday’s existing-home sales report from NAR, but has the situation improved at all here at home?
Housing inventory nationwide increased just under 2 percent from May to June, rising to a decent 5.2-months supply. Though that’s still down 7.6 percent from June 2012, it represents a welcome change of pace for inventory, which fell on a continuous basis throughout 2012 and early 2013.

Data is positive, and, this is a super cool graphic!
