Will it Be Easier to Buy a Home This Year?
One of the biggest hurdles buyers have faced over the past few years has been a lack of homes available for sale. But that’s starting to change. Context is important. On the one hand, inventory is up over the past few years. That means you’ll likely have more options to choose from as you search for your next home. But, at the same time, the graph above also shows there are still significantly fewer homes for sale than there would usually be in a more normal, pre-pandemic market. And that deficit isn’t going to be reversed overnight.
