Will Supply of Homes be a Challenge and How Will it
Impact Price?
Pricing of any item is determined by supply and demand: how many items are available in relationship to how many want to buy that item. (remember Cabbage Patch Dolls or Beanie Babies) The chart above provides a guideline showing who is favored during times of low, even, or high amounts of home inventory.
1-5 month supply of homes favors sellers with prices or appreciation rising.
5-6 month supply is considered a balanced market place where prices have stabilized.
6+ month supply favors the buyers and represents depreciation of home prices.
