SEATTLE-Redfin, the technology-powered real estate brokerage, has issued its Real-Time Demand Pulse. The company says it is the only report in the industry that analyzes home tour and offer data. The report showed:

-- In May, the number of customers touring homes fell 3.0% from April,
compared to a 2.2% loss between April and May in 2012.
-- Home offers decreased 2.1% from April to May, a slightly larger decline
than last year's 1.1% drop.
-- During the last week of May, tours were down 0.9% week over week,
compared to a 1.9% week-over-week increase during the same period last
year.
-- Week-over-week offers in May declined 24.1%, compared to a 30.4% drop
last year, the only metric in this report that improved. The
double-digit drops are expected from week three to four in May because
of lighter activity over Memorial Day Weekend.
