Deborah,
We like the house we made an offer on, otherwise we would not have done it. Technically we are still looking, until the sale is approved, and I have been monitoring alohaliving daily, but have not seen a large influx of inventory, and those houses that showed up in recent weeks don't strike my fancy.
My point is, even though on paper there might be a lot of houses for sale, when it comes down to your criteria, there are not that many. A large number of properties that we wanted to see went into a contingent status literally days, and in some cases even hours before we had an opportunity to look at them. Good propeties for right price are flying off the shelf quickly, and the ones that get stuck on the market for long time usually have good reasons for not selling.
