The same market forces that have resulted in low levels of inventory for about six months are still in effect. In addition to foreclosures and short sales, fixed interest rates at historical lows currently 4.75% for thirty year fixed conforming loans and government incentives with up to $8,000 tax credit for first time buyers and $6,500 for repeat buyers are also putting pressure on inventory levels.

Market activity has definitely picked up with frequent multiple offers on homes below the $600,000 price level.
