The supply of homes is down

By
Real Estate Agent with Edwards Real Estate Group, Inc.

The supply of homes measured in months on the market at their current pace of sales fell 10.5% in the month of August, to an 8.5 month supply of inventory, down from a 9.5-month supply in July. With homes being more affordable than they have been in a generation and the lowest levels of new home construction since World War II, this inventory is projected to continue to fall, which will eventually result in the appreciation of home prices and a move toward a balanced market.

this has been very obvious in our area of Florida...we are getting into multiple offer situations when homes are priced properly.

David, inventory levels definitely have gone down.  We have certain neighborhoods where there are practically no houses for sale!

David,

This is good news! If the supply keeps going down, we hope what we learned in economics will prove to be correct and the demand will follow and drive up prices a bit. It will be interesting to see how things go.
