Is there a housing shortage?
Is there a housing shortage? It seems like houses are for sale, so what does that mean?

Many experts are saying that there is a housing shortage, which means that the inventory is low compared to the population demands. As inventory is low and demand is up then usually prices follow the demand.

The number of homes available is much lower than previous years. Several reason for the current shortage:
-Rising interest rates has paused homeowners from selling or moving up.
- Building restrictions on new home constructions has made it challenging limiting the supply of new homes. High cost of building materials and home prices has paused the rush for new homes.
-The supply chain for building materials, which has led to delays in new construction and renovations
Home prices have been rising rapidly in many areas, making it more difficult for some people to afford a home

Justin - a housing shortage means there are more buyers than homes for sale, so there are not enough homes for every buyer looking to purchase. Here in Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, Florida, we see low inventory, and sellers may still receive multiple home offers.

Of course it depends on the area in which you are looking, but overall, yes, there is an inventory shortage. At the same time, current interest rates are not helping to move properties as quickly as some might expect.
