Housing Inventory: better in places but still tight

As we move into the spring selling season we are seeing the traditional pick-up in inventory, although it varies from town to town. Overall in Essex County, the number of Single Family Homes (SFH) for sale is 15% lower than a year ago, while the number of condos is down 17%.
Here are the numbers for each city and town. First, SFH:
