How's the Market? A Clue to what's happening in North Okanagan Real Estate: December 2010 stats

The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board just released its Monthly Statistics for the North Okanagan real estate zone – and the details are below. The good news for sellers  is that the inventory overall has dropped. However, it is DEFINITELY a BUYERS MARKET out there with an absorption rate of 4.07% In real terms, what that means is that if no new properties came on the market, and the demand remained the same ( same number of properties that sold in December 2010 sold each month,) it would take 24.5 months to sell off all the inventory
