Again, take the below comparison with a giant grain of salt, since the NWMLS has changed the way they count listings and pendings since last year.

However, this year under the new counting method, the same scenario would result in 5,700 active listings and 1,300 pending sales (300 being &#8220;pending inspection&#8221;), giving us 4.4 months of supply&mdash;27% lower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Year-Over-Year Comparison<\/strong><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.tsimg{display:none;}<\/style>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/online.tableausoftware.com\/views\/20090507_SeattleBubble_Months_Of_Supply_Original_Charts\/Y-o-YDashboard?:embed=yes&amp;:toolbar=no&amp;delay=0&amp;:comments=no\" width=\"665\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"512\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2009\/05\/13\/april-neighborhoods-months-of-supply-interactive-update\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tableausoftware.com\/files\/20090515_Months_of_Supply-by_Region_Dashboard.png\" class=\"tsimg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"width:663px;border:1px\">\n<div style=\"height:22px;padding:3px 10px 0px 4px; color:black;font:normal 10pt verdana,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;text-align:left\">\n<div style=\"float:right;font-size:8pt\"><a style=\"color:999999\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tableausoftware.com\/watermark?ref=blog\" target=\"_blank\">powered by tableau online<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Even with the change, most of the Eastside remains above 6 months of supply, while most of the other neighborhoods around King have dropped below 6.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regional History<\/strong><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.tsimg{display:none;}<\/style>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/online.tableausoftware.com\/views\/20090507_SeattleBubble_Months_Of_Supply_Original_Charts\/byRegionDashboard?:embed=yes&amp;:toolbar=no&amp;delay=0&amp;:comments=no\" width=\"665\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"512\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2009\/05\/13\/april-neighborhoods-months-of-supply-interactive-update\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tableausoftware.com\/files\/20090515_Months_of_Supply-Y-o-Y_Dashboard.png\" class=\"tsimg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"width:663px;border:1px\">\n<div style=\"height:22px;padding:3px 10px 0px 4px; color:black;font:normal 10pt verdana,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;text-align:left\">\n<div style=\"float:right;font-size:8pt\"><a style=\"color:999999\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tableausoftware.com\/watermark?ref=blog\" target=\"_blank\">powered by tableau online<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Months of supply decreased again in most neighborhoods from March to April, matching the normal seasonal pattern.
