If you're considering buying or selling a home, you'll want to know what's happening in the housing market. Here's a quick overview of the national trends:
New Listings
Fewer sellers are putting their homes on the market right now, and that's a big reason the housing supply is so limited.
Total Housing Inventory
Inventory is still very low, and that's creating competition among buyers and leading to multiple offer scenarios.
Home Prices
Prices are climbing back up in many areas because there's not enough inventory to meet demand.
Homes Sold in Under a Month
Even though the market isn't moving as fast as it was a year ago, homes are selling fast when priced right.
