According to the NWMLS, 11,103 (September 2007 inventory) is 21% higher than the all time high of 9,176 set back in September of 2002 (which was a pretty bad recession for the area with layoffs galore).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('30635','plymster',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('30635','plymster','Gee, johnnybigspenda.

What they don’t say is that very few of these jobs will be at wages where people will be able to afford houses.
