Falling housing inventory masks weakening buyer demand
Housing inventory levels continue to drop, but analysts say the shortage is masking a more fundamental problem: buyer demand is weakening. Fewer homes on the market can prop up prices and create an impression of a tight market, while underlying interest from buyers is actually softening. Commentators are watching whether declining demand will eventually outweigh the supply squeeze and push prices lower.
Why now: Housing market watchers are trying to read whether price support from low supply will hold as buyer demand weakens.
