In - store observation consisted of a short list of factors including the fresh fruit and vegetable and beverage supply (range, quality, type of infrastructure, placement), operation of fruit and vegetable scales used at point - of - sale, promotion of strategies and price ticketing.

This is an increase in the supply by 10 houses over last year at the same time with a decrease in the average sale price over the same period of time.

«In these West Coast markets, heightened demand is being met with limited supply of homes for sale, which naturally causes prices to rise,» says Dr. Svenja Gudell, chief economist at Zillow.

«Rental rates and home prices are climbing, the rent - to - buy ratio remains stable, the average rate on a 30 - year mortgage is still under 4 percent, and at a 3.8 - month supply, the inventory of homes for sale is still low.

The larger number of REITs means there are more entities chasing the relatively static supply of good apartment projects that come up for sale, thus raising prices at a time when yields are declining.

Given the tight inventory of homes for sale, a 5.1 - month supply at the current sales pace, home prices are being bid up.»

Total housing inventory at the end of April rose 11.9 percent, a seasonal increase to 2.16 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 5.2 - month supply at the current sales pace, compared with 4.7 months in March.Listed inventory is 13.6 percent below a year ago, when there was a 6.6 - month supply, with current availability tighter in the lower price ranges.
