Shifts in buyer behavior show up in the changes in demand and supply. Thus, the 3 indictors that I mentioned. Realtors will be the first to see the shift in buyer behavior. They are one of the indicators I mentioned. As demand picks up, months inventory will peak and decline.
It is disappointing that none of the real estate experts, Real Estate Centers, or economists have provided real estate cycle forecasting tools. So I have provided a forecasting tool myself, and in the absence of any others out there, is what will have to do. Time will tell if it works.
