"Sale / original list" is the one to watch if you're selling: it includes every price cut, so the gap between it and "sale / list" shows how much homes had to come down before they sold.

Months of supply is active listings divided by the average monthly sales pace over the past year. Under about 4 months tends to favor sellers; over about 6 favors buyers. James Island was at 3.1.
