This year is shaping up to be the best in a decade for home sales (yay!), but that doesn’t mean that buying a home is easy (uh-oh). Houses are flying off the market at the fastest rate since the housing bust in 2007, so we know that buyers must be working hard to find that perfect home and get it under contract. Harder than ever, perhaps.
Insights from our daily surveys of visitors to realtor.com® tell us that their biggest challenge is the low inventory of available homes, which is holding us back from seeing even more sales.
