One of the primary reasons<\/a> houses are so expensive today is that there aren’t enough homes for sale for people who want them. Ever since the pandemic housing boom\u2014when record-low mortgage rates prompted homebuyers<\/a> to snap up a large share of housing supply\u2014listings have been much harder to come by. It’s even harder to find a home that a typical buyer can afford.<\/p>\n

However, housing supply varies widely across the country. In many Sun Belt cities, supply now exceeds demand after a wave<\/a> of post-pandemic homebuilding and decline<\/a> in activity. But in parts of the Midwest and Northeast, listings are few and far between due to strong competition<\/a> for a dwindling number<\/a> of homes.<\/p>\n
