Essex County inventory: where have all the sellers gone?

During this mild winter, buyers have remained active, taking advantage of historically low mortgage rates, but Essex County inventory remains low.

While the end of February is low season for real estate sales in New England, some of the changes in inventory at different price levels are startling. I include a chart showing the overall numbers, followed by a breakdown by price, for both SFHs and Condos.
