I assume that this is happening due to late-reported pending sales from agents and the <a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/11\/one-more-look-at-bogus-reports-from-the-nwmls\/\" title=\"One More Look at Bogus Reports from the NWMLS\">unusual way the NWMLS records their statistics<\/a>.  Despite that confusion, this chart does a good job of showing just how tight the market has gotten in the last year.

In the last 12 months that number has averaged just 21.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, here&#8217;s a look at the monthly flow of new listings less pending sales:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px auto; width: 600px; font-size: 0.8em; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Listings-Flow-King-Co_2013-01.png\" title=\"New Listings Less Pending Sales 2000-Present\" rel=\"lightbox[25687]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Listings-Flow-King-Co_2013-01-600x436.png\" style=\"border: 0;\" title=\"New Listings Less Pending Sales 2000-Present - Click to enlarge\" alt=\"New Listings Less Pending Sales 2000-Present\" width=\"600\" height=\"436\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The average value in the chart above from 2007 through 2009 was a net gain of 1,288 listings per month.
