Phantom Inventory

Phantom Inventory
Properties on the market in America that are not included in the National Association of Realtors’ sales figures.

Reporting for The Times of London on February’s improved American home sale figures (up 5.1 percent, compared with a 5 percent decrease in January), Christine Seib cautioned:

But this does not include so-called phantom inventory – all the houses that are for sale but not being marketed by a realtor. Given that many foreclosures are not sold through estate agents, there could be a far larger number of houses going unsold than the jump in February’s sales figures indicate.
Luke Mullins recently issued a similar warning on the blog The Home Front.
(The term phantom inventory is also used to describe the opposite phenomenon: non-existent goods listed on an inventory – sometimesfraudulently.)
