The Vegas Valley Inventory continues to decrease. This is actually the least amount of homes for sale since May of 2010. I am guessing that within the next couple of months, more homes will be put on the market. While this inventory supply is low, the demand of homes has increased which makes more competition among home buyers for the current homes available.
