Where can I find months supply for Mass? That's the number I'm most interested in.

This site has a graph of Boston area inventory:

It's not listed in terms of months, but it's a start.

Found it.

Quote:
The inventory of single-family homes as of July 31, 2010 increased 10.0 percent from July 2009 (28,740 listings in 2009 to 31,685 listings in 2010) which translates into 9.9 months of supply in July 2010. This is up from 6.4 months of supply last year and up from 6.1 months in June 2010. This was the fifth straight month of inventory gains and the first double-digit increase since November 2006. There were also more homes for sale this past July than any month since October 2008.

Combine that with this chart and it's clear which way prices are heading.

Short summary: when months of supply is over 6 months, prices go down (with the exception of distortions caused by the tax credits).
