As has been mentioned in previous articles, the typical spring buying season was put on hold due to the pandemic this year. This has created a pent up demand from buyers looking to either enter the market or trade up in the market for more space. In addition, the continued low mortgage rates have only increased the buyer demand. With this said, the inventory has continued to provide challenges. Many would be sellers have opted to not list their house for sale due to fear of the potential added virus exposure with showings. This continued tight inventory only reinforces how impressive the increased foot traffic for showings has been.
