Ready To Sell? Today’s Housing Supply Gives You Two Opportunities.
If you’ve heard that housing supply is increasing compared to last year, you might be wondering if that’s bad news for you as a seller. But the truth is, this shift in inventory actually opens up two big opportunities in today’s housing market.
Let’s break it down.
📊 The Bigger Picture on Housing Supply
According to Calculated Risk, housing supply has increased by 58% compared to 2021. Sounds like a lot, right? But to really understand what that means, we need to zoom out.
If you compare today’s inventory levels to 2019 — the last “normal” year before the pandemic — we’re still about 35% below those levels. That means supply is growing, but still low overall, creating a uniquely favorable window if you’re thinking of selling.
💡 Opportunity #1: You Have More Choices for Your Next Move
Is your current home feeling too small, too big, or just not quite right? You’re not alone — and the recent boost in inventory means there are more options than last year for your next chapter.
Now’s the time to work with a local real estate expert who knows your area and can help you find the perfect place — and negotiate a winning offer when you do.
📈 Opportunity #2: Your Home Is Still in Demand
Even with the increase in listings, housing inventory isn’t back to pre-pandemic levels — and likely won’t be anytime soon. That’s good news for sellers.
If you price your home right, chances are it will still stand out and attract strong buyer interest.
As realtor.com puts it:
“Today’s shoppers generally have more homes to consider than last year’s shoppers did, but the market is still not back to pre-pandemic inventory levels.”
That means well-priced, well-presented homes are still in demand — and can sell quickly.
✅ Bottom Line
You can sell with confidence and shop with more freedom. With more homes on the market and still-favorable seller conditions, you don’t have to choose between selling fast and finding your next home.
