This has more or less steadily declined until late last year when it reached around 1.55 million units. It has fluctuated since then, but in June there were more than 1.58 million units available.<\/p>\nThe West Coast inventory has been on the rise since early 2018. In Seattle, there were 12,267 units for sale and 8,011 in San Francisco.
