Surprising for this time of year (which is traditionally slow in sales), the sales to listing ratio for the past two consecutive weeks has been 102% and 100%.  Listing inventory on the West Side has declined to a total of 1,914, with only 397 Detached homes available for sale.  Compared to the same time last year, that is almost half of the inventory available, and sales numbers are nearly triple what they were in the last quarter of 2008.
