Feels Like Drought

December was a weird month, real estate-wise. Sure, it's always a quiet time in the real estate market, but this year it was practically silent. Buyers kept asking us, "Where's all the inventory?" Everyone wondered if there were really as few homes for sale as it seemed. Then this appeared today, showing that, indeed, there really weren't many homes for sale. We've seen a perceptible uptick in January, but hardly what we'd call a deluge.
