If you thought inventory was low in San Francisco, try looking east towards Oakland, where there were just 151 homes for sale at the end of March. According to Movoto's math, this is down from 797 just a year ago, making would-be Oakland homebuyers 81% more likely to be really, really frustrated. It may be time for their west bay counterparts to rethink the 'I can always move to Oakland" contingency plan. - Laura Tepper [SF Business Times/Movoto]
