September inventory pop?

Our favorite source of listing statistics, Housing Tracker, showed a slight decline in the inventory of for-sale housing in LA in the week ending Monday, which mirrors historical trends -- inventory of ‘for sale’ houses usually declines after Labor Day.

A commenter, though, encouraged us to check out another good source, Bubble Markets Inventory Tracking, which shows a big increase in LA inventory over the past ten days, from 57,734 homes to 58,769, an increase of roughly 100 homes per day. A year ago, the same source was charting a decline in inventory -- from 47,369 in September to 45,780 in October.
