More Homes Are Finally Hitting the Market – Is Your Dream One Out There?
If you’ve been feeling frustrated by the limited number of homes for sale these past couple of years, here's some news that might just change your plans: more homes are hitting the market, and this spring could be the perfect time to kick off your home search again.
Daryl Fairweather, Chief Economist at Redfin, recently said:
“Now is the best time to buy in the last two years. Mortgage rates are comparable to what they were two years ago, and prices remain high. However, there is significantly more inventory . . .”
So what does that mean for you? You’ve got more options to explore—and potentially more chances to find the one.
Inventory Is Climbing
We’re seeing a steady increase in the number of homes coming on the market. From move-up sellers to folks downsizing, homeowners who have been holding off are finally listing.
And that’s a win-win—more inventory means more choices for buyers and more competition for sellers, which can help level out the market a bit.
The Spring Surge Is Here
This kind of inventory growth isn’t just month-to-month—it’s up year-over-year too. According to Realtor.com, March saw 10.2% more new listings than March of last year. That makes it the busiest March for new listings since 2021.
Whether you're looking for more space, a new location, or just something fresh, the odds of finding a home that fits your life right now just got better.
Don’t Miss What’s Coming
More homes are expected to hit the market as we move further into spring, and some of the best opportunities get scooped up fast. If you’ve been holding off on your search, this could be your moment to re-engage.
The Bottom Line
If moving has been on your mind, now’s a great time to see what’s out there. More homes = more options = a better shot at finding something that checks all your boxes.
So, what’s at the top of your wishlist—more space? A different commute? A big backyard?
