The Why Behind Low Inventory

The Why Behind Low Inventory

You’ve probably been hearing it for over a year now: housing supply is low - really low. Rather than repeat the message yet again, we want to share the factors contributing to this competitive market:

  • The pandemic has had a large impact on the typical behavior of buyers and sellers. Homeowners - many who fall in the Baby Boomer generation - may be at a higher risk for Covid and have been hesitant to put their home on the market.
  • Government-mandated mortgage forbearance has kept millions of Americans in their homes who would’ve otherwise had to sell or foreclose.
  • Rising construction material costs and building restrictions have caused new construction to slow in recent years.
  • Historically low interest rates have incentivized many homeowners to buy without selling, either keeping their current home or buying a new home to use as an investment property.
The lack of inventory itself has created a lot of ‘would-be’ sellers who have stayed put, being concerned that they wouldn’t be able to find a new home once they sell. That’s where 8z Bridge comes in.

"We finally found our dream home in our dream neighborhood, but...all of our funds were tied up in the equity of our current house. On top of that, we were making offers in a very desirable neighborhood, and no one wanted to accept a contingent offer – even if it was over asking price. Then we learned about 8z Bridge.

We were actually able to get our new house for under asking price by coming in with an all-cash offer. And, having a new home ready to move into made us more comfortable listing our old home, which we knew would sell quickly. We ended up closing both sides on the same day since our existing home went under contract so fast. Everything was very seamless and easy!" - Melissa N., 8z Bridge Client
