The inventory of existing homes for sale nationally in today\u2019s market was recently reported to be at a 3.6-month supply…<\/h2>\n

According to the NAR –\u00a0National Association of Realtors<\/a><\/em>\u00a0latest\u00a0The\u00a0Existing Home Sales Report<\/em>. Inventory is now 7.1% lower than last year at this time, this is the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0consecutive month of year-over-year drops.<\/p>\n

Historically, inventory must reach a 6-month supply for a normal market where home prices appreciate with inflation \u2014 This is a national statistic and the numbers tend to vary locally in Northern Virginia. Nationally anything less than a 6-month supply is considered to be a sellers\u2019<\/strong> market, resulting in the demand for houses<\/a> outpacing the supply and prices go up at rates above inflation.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the chart below, the U.S. has been in a sellers\u2019 market since August 2012, but last month\u2019s numbers reached a new low in supply nationally \u2014\u00a0as well as in many local areas of Northern Virginia.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Recently\u00a0Trulia<\/em>\u00a0revealed that not only is there a shortage of homes on the market in general, but the homes that are available for sale are not matching with the needs of the buyers that are house hunting.<\/p>\n

Homes in general are considered to be in three groups by price for the area: starter, trade-up, and premium.<\/p>\n

Trulia\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0market mismatch score measures the search interest of buyers against the types of homes that are currently available on the market. For example:\u00a0\u201cif 60% of buyers are searching for starter homes but only 40% of listings<\/a> are starter homes, [the] market mismatch score for starter homes would be 20.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The results of their latest analysis are detailed in the chart below.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Nationally, Buyers are searching for starter<\/strong> and trade-up<\/strong> homes and are coming up short with the listings available, leading to a highly competitive seller\u2019s<\/strong> market in these categories. Ninety-two of the top 100 metro areas have a shortage in trade-up<\/strong> inventory.<\/p>\n

Premium<\/strong> home-buyers have the best chance of less competition and a surplus of listings in their price range with an 11-point surplus, leading to more of a buyer\u2019s<\/strong> market. \u00a0The current market shows a clear example of how its possible to have both a Buyer’s and Seller’s market existing at the same time for different categories of homes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt leaves Americans who are in the market for a home increasingly chasing too fewer options in lower price ranges, and sellers of premium homes more likely to be left waiting longer for a buyer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Lawrence Yun,\u00a0NAR\u2019s Chief Economist<\/em>\u00a0doesn\u2019t see an end to this coming any time soon:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cCompetition is likely to heat up even more heading into the spring for house hunters looking for homes in the lower- and mid-market price range.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
