Normally seasonal sales peaks have passed, yet regional inventories are remaining low in the West and Sunbelt cities. The problem is that the institutional buyers have scarfed up many of the homes that qualify as rental properties - typically, less than 15 years old, production-housing units that are economically central or in near-burbia. Inventory is scarce. Specialized buyers with proprietary acquisition strategies like HomeVestors - which rarely visit court steps, bank REOs, short sales or loss mitigation offices for their properties -suddenly have become more valuable to these institutional buyers as they dig out properties that seldom make public listings

As inventory gets scarce, the days-on-market indicator drops and prices rise. Our Altos sample shows days-on-market has contracted further and prices show a minor price uptick, or at minimum, flat to positive in markets where there is a better-than-average economy and more plentiful work - even though the overall economy is staggering in Northern states, adding to a new Southern and Western population shift. California taxes and growing lifestyle costs are shifting financially mobile populations and businesses to states like Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Texas, pushing these trends harder. These institutional and individual rental owners are ready to serve these new arrivals with attractive properties. It is clear that inventory, days-on-market and prices are all being affected by these migratory, economic and housing trends. And we anticipate an increase in inventory; homebuilders have started feeling better about themselves. Expect a revival to begin, as the one thing that did not slow down during the Great Recession was population growth. Household creation slowed, but with glimmers of hope and hoped-for change, the members of a generation-on-hold can be expected to climb out of their parents' basements into places of their own. Demographics and simple demand will begin to save us as and will be reflected in the Altos data trends earlier than in any of the big-name forecasters.
