Note: Remember, sales were weak in April last year, so the year-over-year comparison is especially strong this month. I'm tracking data for many local markets around the U.S. I think it is especially important to watch inventory this year.

From the GAMLS for Atlanta:

Total Residential Units Sold in April 2021 were 8,925, up 31.9% from 6,766 in April 2020.

Active Residential Listings in April 2021 were 6,964, down 64.6% from 19,697 in April 2020. Inventory was down 6.1% from 7,418 last month.

Months of Supply was 0.82 Months in April 2021, compared to 2.54 Months in April 2020.
