That's up 400 homes from a month ago, and 21/2 times the inventory of the same time last year. At the current pace of home sales, that amounts to a six-month supply, twice the normal inventory./ D, f1 o. r+ k  v- _! X0 N4 S* G5 H

Good news, if you're a buyer. For sellers, it means waiting an average of 53 days for a sale -- up one day from April.. Y1 [! H6 C( G$ t$ ?5 a; _

Perras predicted the surplus will shrink to about 8,000 by the fall as homes sell or multiple homeowners rent out extra homes instead of trying to sell them.: A5 r8 s0 F. O, K2 J: z

In May, 4,294 homes were added to the listings inventory and 1,821 homes sold. May sales were higher than same-month sales in 2003 and 2004, but fell short of May sales for 2005 to 2007, during a real estate boom.9 T) R0 m5 D' ^8 M4 o  ^4 m1 h1 R
