These concerns might be off the mark; in areas where housing has been recovering, we would expect to
see inventories softening as sellers and banks jump back in, but we haven't been seeing that.
«Demand is still outpacing
inventory in housing that's listed for sale under $ 300,000, but when you get above that mark that's where we're
seeing the
softening in demand,» said Cynthia Silver, a real estate agent with Century 21 Martinez and Associates.
