  1. Those include condos, right?

    The "they're not making more land" argument (i.e., that supply will be tighter in the future), is really belied by those charts.

  4. The increase in inventory reflects the wide spread media-caused-panic to a possible "Bubble Burst" that I like to call the "Martha Stewart Effect". Hurry up and sell now because you just found out that your neighbor is going to!
