    I am trying to do a similar analysis as Rich’s monthly data round-up for a different city.

    I’ve found public sources for most of the data, but of particular interest to me is charting months of inventory. I can get the monthly sales data, but how do you get monthly inventory? Rich sites ziprealty.com as his source for inventory. Do you think he just takes a snapshot of total listings in the MLS at the end or middle of the month? What’s the best way to estimate monthly inventory?

    Thanks!

    I’m no pro but I’d say pick a day (say, the 15th of the month) then stick with it for consistency.

    Why not ask Rich? [email protected]

    Hey, thanks. That’s what I was thinking, but different MLS sites seem to have quite variable answers (20-40% delta) So it seems like the data integrity is in question.

    Does anyone know if Realtor.com is an accurate source for listings? I wonder why Rich uses ziprealty instead of Realtor.com?

    Rich said he just pulls the # of listings from ziprealty on the 15th of each month.
