Why is it so hard to find a home to buy? That’s been the question on most home buyers’ and sellers’ minds for the past year. A few factors have contributed to the low supply and high demand for homes over the past year. Here are the top factors driving the current housing demand:
1- During Covid, many people were forced to stay at home. This influenced them to start looking for new homes with better amenities.
2- Usually, new construction helps supply meet demand in the housing market. But with the spike of demand post-Covid, new construction could not keep up. Supply chain issues hindering construction companies from receiving the materials needed to stay on schedule only added to this problem.
3- Due to the low mortgage rates, many homebuyers are purchasing their second home, so they are not generating new listings.
4- In highly competitive markets like this Phoenix-Metro, homeowners are hesitant to list their property before being under contract on their new home.
