As homebuyers' perception of the economy and affordability continue to worsen, nearly 40% of Americans planning to buy their first home in 2023 revealed now is a good time to buy, as many continue to search for homes and save for downpayments.

According to October’s Monthly Housing Market Trends Report from Realtor.com, data showed nationwide inventory of active listings grew 33.5% year-over-year to a two-year high.

According to Zillow's latest market report, inventory levels are up 3% from 2021, leaving more options for buyers and more competitive pressure on sellers. However, new for-sale listings saw an 11.4% drop from August, marking the third straight month of double-digit declines.
