“Pending spike” in inventory prognostication based on what??? The actual latest hard facts point to a flattening of inventory. No not some inane vacuous diahrrea of the mouth hot air prediction/opinion but the hard facts of actual inventory of homes for sale in San Diego country as of today. No one said it portends a bottom . . . but . . . a bottom will be accompanied, among other things, buy a flat then shrinking inventory. Many other factors would have to be present in addition to flattening/shrinking inventory but such inventory will be one of the factors whenever the bottom comes. We have flattening inventory now for the first time in the past 24+ months. Time will tell what that means.
