So that is about 650, add another 150 FSBO's although that is probably high, that is a maximum of 800 homes out of 40,000. That is only 2% of the total homes. Even if it was double and 4%, that is still way below the rest of the country. So I would believe that there are actually very few homes for resale based on the total homes built. There seems to be a lot because in a small area you have a good selection. Volume wise it is not a lot.
There are 546 homes currently listed on the TV website, including those with offers pending. This number is up from the usual 400 or so.

The MLS numbers are also up.
It is a sign of the national economy IMHO.
I believe it will get worse before it gets better.
