Blue Line = Despair
Orange Line = Rejoice
As any buyer in today's market will tell you... there is very little on the market to buy right now.
That's the blue line. Over the past 13 years there have been fewer, and fewer, and fewer homes for sale at any given time.
But... more homes than ever before (in the past 13 years) sold in the past year, so there are very likely to be plenty of options of houses to buy coming on the market in future weeks and months.
That said, they will likely go under contract - quickly - leaving us with low inventory levels all over again.
So... would be home buyers... despair only for a moment about the lack of current inventory, and then rejoice that spring is coming and there will likely be plenty of homes to consider purchasing!
