By the Numbers: Pending home sales rose in April, but middle-class buyers still face a massive supply shortage<\/a><\/p>\n

The number of homes in contract across the country in April rose moderately from the year before, but the market still struggles with a lack of inventory \u2014 especially for middle-income families.<\/p>\n

In April, pending home sales climbed 3.2 percent year over year and 1.4 percent month over month, according to the National Association of Realtors. By region, the West (+3.8 percent), South (+4.7 percent) and Midwest (+2.7 percent) recorded yearly increases, while the Northeast saw a slight dip (-0.6 percent).<\/p>\n

Though more deals are headed into contract, and inventory has improved over the past years, there are still fewer homes on the market that buyers are willing and able to pay for, according to another report from NAR and Realtor.com. Overall, the market has a quarter fewer homes than it would if it were balanced.<\/p>\n
