I absolutely can say that and just did. I’ll say it again. There is alot more demand than supply right now. If there was adequate supply the sales numbers would be even higher than the mistaken figures they published.
Prices are actually rising some places and in some price segmetns. A house down the street from just closed for more than the one next door which was larger with a pool and the one across the street which was also larger with a view did this time last year. Prices on many of the short sales I have in process are lower than what the houses are selling for today. Appraisals keep them from rising too rapidly.
