Navigating market changes as inventory rises It seems buying a home is no longer the formula it once was. Mortgage rates have remained uncomfortable and list prices skyrocketed then came to a halt. This was followed by competition going from super stiff to almost nonexistent. With all this change, how do you keep up? Realtor.com’s Jillian Pretzel says things may be looking up for buyers lately, although you might have to blink a few times to see the subtle benefits of what’s going on. She lists a few old rules that no longer apply to the current real estate market—plus new ones that will take their place this year. The first is that when housing inventory is low, it’s best to have an open mind, but don’t give up on all your dreams. “There are more homes on the market; you have plenty of options,” she says. “Real estate inventory has been sparse in recent years, but new listings and active listings have been increasing since the beginning of the year. In fact, a recent report found that the number of for-sale homes is up a whopping 27.6% from this time last year.” She compared the current market with last year’s and found that the inventory of homes for sale increased in all of the largest metros, according to Realtor.com. Markets with the most inventory growth were Denver (+54.8%), Las Vegas (+49.4%), and Tucson (+45.0%), and those numbers grew in February. “There were 27.5% more homes actively for sale on a typical day in February compared with the same time in 2024, marking the 16th consecutive month of annual inventory growth.” That being said, Realtors everywhere still advise their clients not to settle for a property if it doesn't tick off all their boxes.
