An uptick in home sales coupled scarce supply levels kept home prices on the rising path in the majority of metro areas during the first quarter of the year.

There are two occurrences happening simultaneously in the market: some of the hottest housing markets may be slowing down, while those that have been slow to rebound are finally heating up.

With many analysts early in the year having predicted a robust spring season for the housing market, the question remains as to whether or not that will come to pass as spring is in full swing.

First-time homebuyers are faced with two major challenges in the housing market that are keeping them from purchasing a home: scarce inventory and higher home prices.

Homebuyers overcame one of the housing market's biggest obstacles—an imbalance in supply and demand— in March with a rebound in home sales.

Mortgage affordability has remained mostly favorable, causing demand for homes in the market to rise at a rapid pace but supply remains at a disadvantage.

The rebound in homebuilding is expected to continue throughout the year, but will it solve persistent inventory issues?

Median home prices are on an upward climb and inventory is remains low, but buyers are more determined that ever to unleash pent-up demand and purchase homes in these markets.

Existing-home sales have suffered in recent months due to the continuous imbalance of extremely low inventory levels and rapid home price appreciation, and industry experts believe that this trend will not end anytime soon.

Home builders' focus in recent years has continually been on expensive properties, which could be placing a damper on the homebuying process for first-time shoppers.
