  I feel for local home shoppers, especially those who don’t have huge budgets for housing expenses.
  Southern California’s home sellers are missing in action!
  The region’s supply of existing homes is thin. Plus, new-home developments are pricey and don’t offer much in the way of move-in-soon opportunities. And the light inventory has a worrisome, self-fulfilling prophecy catch: Some owners aren’t selling because they fear not being able to find a new residence.
