More Homes for Sale? That’s Not a Red Flag – It’s a Green Light for Buyers
Heard that inventory is on the rise? It’s true—and that’s actually great news if you're house hunting.
Just look at the data:
In April 2025, active listings hit 959,251 — the highest since 2020 ( see chart #1). But here’s the catch: we’re still well below pre-pandemic norms. That means:
✅ More homes = more choices
✅ Less bidding war pressure
✅ More negotiating power for YOU
So no, this isn’t 2008 all over again. The real story? We’ve been in a housing shortage for over a decade. New construction hasn’t kept up with demand, and we’re millions of homes short ( see chart #2).
At the current pace, it could take 7.5 years to close the housing gap (Realtor.com). Rising inventory is simply a step toward market balance—not a market crash.
Bottom Line:
Don’t let headlines scare you. Rising inventory means opportunity. Let’s talk about how you can take advantage of it now before competition heats up again.
DM me “HOME” and let’s build your next move.
