Local housing inventory continues its surprising autumn drop.
Virtually all year long, Manhattan Beach has had more homes on the market than for any year during the current market rally.
No more.
Look at that bold blue line in our chart. After months of sailing above recent inventory highs, you can see the sudden dive to 92 listings as of 11/15.
We haven't seen a level that low since mid-February, before the season got busy.
Where'd all the homes go?
A bunch have gone into escrow, as we documented here, recounting the "Rocktober" MB had just experienced.
And there's a seasonal trend now. As you can see in the chart, in most years, as the holiday season approaches, fewer homes are on the market. That's sellers taking their unsold homes off for a while, to enjoy the season and to avoid accruing extra DOM at a time when they're less likely to sell.
For some reason, though, the mix of circumstances taking homes off the market is just faster than usual.
We can still watch the level of lingering holiday-season inventory. The level of 92 listings now is quite consistent with each of the prior 3 years.
