Buyers Face Scarce Inventory In Record Price Growth
Christine Rodriguez and Oscar struggle to find a starter home in Des Moines Town as inventory vanishes. Nationally, homes priced 250k to 100k drop 11 percent from a year earlier, under 100k down 26 percent while over 1 million rise 81 percent. Low rates keep demand high though. Economists warn this squeezes first time buyers and widens wealth gaps amid a national housing shortage and rising prices. Mortgage rates hover near historic lows around 2.97 percent for 30-year fixed loans, keeping buyers able to stretch to higher prices even as listings fade.
