The inventory of available homes for sale in Anne Arundel County – which includes Annapolis Maryland – has dropped to 2,289 units at the end of November 2012.  Inventory has been on the decline for several months now while sales continue at a steady pace.  This slowly diminishing inventory mans there is now 4.9 months of inventory available in the county.  When the real estate market has more than six month supply of homes for sale, it is generally considered a “buyer’s market”; when there is less than a six month supply of homes, it is generally considered a “seller’s market”.

As we transition from the fall selling cycle through the holidays (December is often the slowest month for real estate) and into winter, what remains to be seen is whether or not inventory will increase or decrease.  It is likely that sellers have been sitting on the fence waiting to see the outcome of the presidential elections (now we know) and what will happen on the precipice of the Fiscal Cliff (we dont’ know yet).

In the fall of 2006 inventory levels increased month over month until we reached the spring market of 2007 when sales plummeted.  The signal then was swift and sharp but we did not know what to make of it during the six month transition from strong sellers market to strong buyers market.  Inventory in January and the months that follow leading up to the 2013 spring market could suddenly trend upward or continue to spiral downward.  A downward trend should be accompanied by sales prices stabilizing and perhaps even increasing.
