Bottom line, there simply are not enough homes available to meet today’s buyer demand. Homes are selling just as quickly as they’re coming to the market. The housing inventory is at a record low. A “normal” housing market, typically has a 6-month supply of unsold inventory to balance out.

With so few homes available, we are truly in a sellers’ market. If you are a homeowner and you are ready to make a move right now, you have the opportunity to negotiate the best possible contract with buyers because the market is so competitive. On average, homes are going under agreement in less than a month and home prices are rising. In some cases, buyers are waiving contingencies, such as, inspections, appraisals and paying cash to give them more of a competitive advantage.
