Just when the industry was beginning to feel hopeful about more dollars being poured into the construction sector, spending in this area reversed course.

Fewer homes for sale over the past year have driven prices up faster than expected, according Zillow’s latest Real Estate Market Report.

New single-family home sales did something remarkable this month. Sales in this sector rose significantly month-over-month and year-over-year to reach the highest level since 2008 despite falling inventory levels.

The recent rise in home building may not make much difference in the availability of new houses, particularly to new buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors.

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.
