Is YOY inventory decrease due to increased sales or people pulling homes off market?

Sales volume in San Francisco has been falling over the past three years and is down 10% YOY.

Hard to blame "increased sales" for the decline in inventory. Perhaps the flippers/speculators have been chased out of the market?

That's the extent of the inventory? Does that include all of those SOMA developments?

[Editor's Note: Nope. That's only listed inventory. We'll be publishing an unpdated Complete Inventory Index (Cii) in a few weeks.]

Perhaps listed inventory is worthless and not relevant in regards to condition of housing market due to supply/demand manipulation?

Is withholding supply to maintain prices legal in other types of markets such as stocks and commodities?

Thanks for the added info. That inventory count still stuns me - that just seems incredibly low considering the population size (check out what's available in Denver, CO for example).
