1 in 48 Massachusetts Houses For Sale

According to the 2000 US Census, there were ~2.44 million owner-occupied households in MA. In January, the MAR reported an inventory of 51,122 homes for sale. That means that ~2.1%, or about 1 in 48 MA homes were for sale. No wonder "For Sale" signs seem to be everywhere you look.

By comparison, at the peak of the 80's market there were ~30,000 units for sale. By 1991 that number swelled to >44,000.
