I'm home sick today, feeling awful and in need of distraction so I went back through every REBGV monthly newsletter and pulled the data into a new google spreadsheet. Not surprisingly, the newsletters are inconsistent with presenting the same data every month, especially when it's bad news. Some numbers I had to pull from the same month the next year (it would say "compared to xx listings last year" or "% change"), note the cells shaded grey I had to pull from other sources (mostly the list posted by Inventory).
Apparently MOI peaked at 21 in November 2008.
It is now back at 5 in the "typical/healthy" 5-6 range.
I guess we'll see what happens as 2010 progresses.
While of course the RE pumpers compare current inventory levels as low compared to the "correction" of 2008-09, it is still high by 2006-07 standards.
If anyone has corrections or wants to see some other computed values or graphs, let me know.
If anyone wants to collect the data from earlier years, let me know.
I'm going to go drink some cough syrup now......
