Buyer Demand Continues to Outpace the Supply of Homes for Sale
The
National Association of Realtors’ (NAR)
Chief Economist Lawrence Yun recently commented on the current lack of inventory:
“Inventory coming onto the market during this year’s spring buying season – as evidenced again by last month’s weak reading – was not even close to being enough to satisfy demand.
That is why home prices keep outpacing incomes and listings are going under contract in less than a month – and much faster – in many parts of the country.”
The latest
Existing Home Sales Report shows that there is currently a
4.1-month supply of homes for sale. This remains lower than the 6-month supply necessary for a normal market, and
6.1% lower than last year’s inventory level.
