Explained: Today’s Low Housing Inventory

If you’re looking to buy a new home, you may be wondering why the supply of homes is so low today. Here are a few factors that play into it:

Lacking of Building

For 14 years, builders did not construct enough homes, causing a long-standing shortage of new homes. 

The Mortgage Rate Lock-In Effect

Many homeowners don’t want to move and get a higher mortgage rate on their next home. This means fewer homes are coming onto the market. 

People Are Staying in Their Houses Longer

Since 2010, people have been staying in their homes longer. Meaning, that fewer houses are for sale since no one is moving.
