| Yr Ending January | Units Listed | Units Sold | % Sold | Sold Avg. | Avg. Dom |

This shows some interesting trends in the number of units going on sales, despite the decreased demand, which eventually begins to push down the price and extend the average days on market.
The current inventory is 555, with an average monthly Sold of 46, yielding a backlog of 12 months to sell off the inventory at current rates of sale.
