Here are the weekly inventory and pending counts for Ventura County and the San Fernando Valley. For the legend Single Family Homes is abbreviated SFH, Ventura County is abbreviated VC and San Fernando Valley is abbreviated SFV. For readers who might not know, REO are bank owned foreclosures and short sales are owners hoping to sell the home for less than what is owed on the mortgage balance.

Update: Please see the home page for the latest graphs, I am reverting earlier weeks to text to maintain site speed.

Great exhibits. I am unclear as to your definition of "contingent" and "pending"...If possible, could you please provide a sense of what you are measuring?

thanks

Anonymous,

Contingent means the contract has a contingency in place that hasn't been cleared. This could be finance contingency, home of choice, inspection, or any number of other contingencies in place.

Pending means contingencies have been cleared. But note.. many agents in the SFV just use Pending and don't use contingent flags at all.

Thanks for stopping by.
