Inventory Levels are at Dangerous Lows in Popular Housing Markets


As the mortgage and real estate industries continue to struggle due to low-levels of inventory to meet a buyer's demands, the inventory levels in some of the hottest markets have now reached dangerous territory.

"There are up to 40% fewer homes for buyers to choose from in housing markets where home values are appreciating fastest, and 10% fewer homes on the market overall," according to National Mortgage News.

"For-sale inventory has declined on an annual basis for the past 35 consecutive months, with only 16.7% of surveyed housing experts anticipating a significant increase in homebuilding this year, suggesting that limited supply may continue to drive the housing market in 2018."

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a quick fix to the solution. The report also states that builders are struggling with both high and rising land as well as material costs.
