Michigan Housing Shortages

January 26th, 2017 by Inlanta Staff

Where have all the homes gone?

On a national level there are only 1.65 million homes for sale equating to about 3.6 months of inventory, down from 3.9 months last year at the same time.  In an ideal situation, there will be six months of inventory to provide for healthy and well balanced market.  The National Association of Realtors (NAR) provided the info-graphic at the left comparing where existing home sales where in 2015 compared to 2016.

The city of Grand Rapids continues to be one of the hottest housing markets, thus causing a severe lack of available homes for sale.  According to The Grand Rapids Association of  Realtors (GRAR), there where only 1.7 months of inventory for sale at the end of 2016.

With these bleak levels of inventory home buyers must be prepared to act quickly, expect multiple offers and potentially need to offer over list price to get their dream home.
