Fewer homes were on the market in Denver last month than in March 2007, some possible good news for the local housing market.
Of 28 major metro areas in the country, Denver was among only five with a year-over-year decline in such inventory, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
The drop wasn’t huge, 3.5 percent. But it ranked Denver third after Boston, which was down 10.9 percent and Dallas, down 4.4 percent. Atlanta and Chicago had smaller declines.
Unsold home inventories are one barometer of supply and demand in a market. Falling inventories can signal that a market may be bottoming or that frustrated sellers have pulled their homes from the market.

The 6.4 months needed to clear Denver’s overhang of unsold homes at the current rate of sales also was the lowest among metro areas.
In another positive sign, Forbes ranked Denver as the seventh-best market among metro areas for home sellers. Forbes cited a nearly 50 percent drop in new home construction, a 20 percent decline in the number of vacant homes and a 2 percent rise in new jobs.
