Why inventory is the foundation
Supply drives leverage. Tight inventory pushes prices up and shortens days on market; ample inventory does the reverse. Reading inventory first sets the context for interpreting DOM, list-to-sale, and price trends.
How buyers use it
More inventory means more choice and negotiating room; tight inventory means moving fast and competing. The monthly trend tells buyers whether to be patient or decisive in their target neighborhood.
How sellers use it
Listing into tight inventory can mean strong demand and leverage; listing into rising supply calls for sharper pricing and presentation. Brian times and prices listings to the current inventory picture.
