Even though the new listings in the Westside are up from last week, 253, vs. 222, and the sales are slightly off (179 this week vs 196 last week), the overall inventory of homes for sale is at the lowest point since January 2, 2009 (at 2,652).  There is a good demand for condominiums under $325,000 as first time buyers and investors are back in the market, and the good listings are selling quickly.  The same is true of houses under $1 mil.
