***The City of La Mirada has a 2.1 month supply of homes (combined single family and condos) for sale,  down from 60 days ago at 3.8 and and down also from prior months. That’s the length of time it would take to sell the existing inventory of homes for sale, provided sales continue at the same pace this year as in 2008, and providing no new listings enter the market place.

I think it’s also worthy to note that while the number of sales were up year-to-date (past 12 months) 320 single family vs. 230 for same time period 24 months ago. Although the number of sales has increased, prices have continued to decline.
