Boston housing inventory on the decline

Zillow claims the housing market is getting worse. Zip Realty thinks the numbers show that the housing market is getting better.

Declining number of home listings in July is evidence that the U.S. housing market continues to stabilize according to ZipRealty.

The U.S. housing market continues to show signs of stabilization with the fifteenth consecutive month-over-month decline in the number of home listings, according to a monthly survey of home listings conducted by the national real estate brokerage ZipRealty

According to Zip Realty the Boston housing inventory is down -4.4% month-over-month and down -7.8% year-over-year.
