According to a new Realtor.com survey, while 2024 is expected to remain a challenging year for homebuyers, nearly all first-time homebuyers overwhelmingly feel that they’ll be able to afford a home within their lifetime.

Realtor.com has released its Monthly Housing Market Trends Report for December, which revealed that while the share of active listings on the market remains low compared to pre-pandemic levels, an uptick in inventory could mean a broader range of homes for homebuyers to choose from.

Homebuyers backed out of deals at the highest rate on record in October, driving more home sellers to lower their prices and offer concessions to entice home shoppers. A new Redfin report revealed that a spike in new listings drove pending home sales to their highest level in a year.

Potential homebuyers are looking at areas with affordable home prices and lowered housing costs, according to a new WSJ/Realtor.com report, which showed the Midwest is emerging as a new option for home shoppers despite facing low inventory and a quick market pace.

Potential homebuyers are now co-buying and living with relatives for longer periods of time, according to a new survey from Realtor.com. Meanwhile, proximity to family remained a leading factor in choosing a place to live as many cohabiting Americans seek relief from childcare and housing costs.

Despite the increasing risks of flooding, heat waves, and hurricanes, Americans are still flocking to metros such as Las Vegas, Sacramento, and Tampa, which topped the list of most popular migration destinations in Redfin's latest report.

As many Americans return to work, a new Realtor.com report showing the Hottest ZIP Codes of 2023 revealed homebuyer demand is being fueled in part by the desire for more commute-friendly locations and additional space.

Realtor.com has found that more than 60% of all listing page views from the top 100 metros went to homes located outside the metropolitan areas where shoppers live.

According to a new report from Zillow, legal protections come at a cost for LGBTQIA+ home shoppers, as typical home values in areas with explicit legal protections for the community are an estimated 46% more expensive than areas with no protections.

Annually, new listings of homes for sale dropped nearly 26%, falling below their previous pandemic lows, according to Realtor.com.
