New HouseCanary Report Finds Signs of Housing Supply Shortage Relief in Late 2021
HouseCanary, Inc. ("HouseCanary"), a leading provider of residential real estate data and home valuations, today released its latest Market Pulse report, covering 22 listing-derived metrics and comparing data between June 2020 and June 2021. The Market Pulse is an ongoing review of proprietary data and insights from HouseCanary's nationwide platform.
Jeremy Sicklick, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HouseCanary, commented: "After a prolonged period of severe housing shortage, we are beginning to see early signs that inventory levels may finally be stabilizing. In June, we observed a shrinking gap between net new listings and the number of listings under contract and if this trend progresses, we expect to see supply constraints start to loosen in late Q3 or early Q4. In the near-term, however, it is important to recognize that tight supply continues to dominate market dynamics, causing historically high prices across much of the country."
