Housing inventory in a significant number of major metropolitan areas hit levels higher than they were before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new report from Realtor.com. 

The real estate marketplace said nearly half of America’s 50 largest metros had real estate markets whose number of active listings as of May had surpassed pre-pandemic levels.

The ten metro areas that had the largest jumps in active inventory from their averages in 2017-2019 all posted double-digit percentage increases, according to Realtor.com.

HOUSING CRISIS DEEPENS AS 47 MAJOR METRO AREAS NOW REQUIRE HOMEBUYERS TO SPEND MORE THAN 30% OF INCOME

Eight states had representation among the ten areas that Realtor.com identified as having the “most dramatic improvement in active inventory,” with Texas claiming three spots within the top-five.

Denver, Colorado

Denver stood out as the metro with the largest increase in active housing inventory from pre-pandemic levels, seeing a 100% jump, the report said. Realtor.com linked the surge in inventory to factors like increased construction and the time homes remain on the market. The city serves as the capital of the Centennial State.

Austin is located in Central Texas. Inventory in the metro was up 69% in May from where it stood before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Realtor.com

Seattle, Washington

In the Dallas-Forth Worth area, inventory rose 55.5% from pre-COVID, the report said. Homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area carried a median price of $440,000 in May.

San Antonio’s active inventory posted a 58.3% jump from pre-pandemic levels, per Realtor.com.

The metro areas of San Francisco, Nashville, Orlando, Las Vegas and Tuscon rounded out Realtor.com’s top-10 when it came to having notched the “largest gains” in inventory. Their increases compared to before the pandemic ranged from 53.5% for San Francisco to 23% for Tuscon, according to the real estate marketplace. 

TOP FIVE BUYER-FRIENDLY MARKETS OFFER PRICE CUTS AND INCREASED INVENTORY

“In general, we’re seeing strong inventory reboards in metros that have built more in the last 6 years,” Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale said in a statement. “This milestone underscores both the importance of enabling housing construction and the growing divide in housing conditions across regions, where some markets are rapidly normalizing and others remain stuck in low-supply dynamics.”

The national housing market appears to be moving towards being a “buyer-friendly” one, according to Realtor.com.

The U.S. had over one million homes on the market in May, a level that the U.S. hadn’t climbed above since the winter of 2019, a separate June 5 Realtor.com report found. 

SMALL REAL ESTATE INVESTORS REACH RECORD MARKET SHARE, NOW DOMINATE 59% OF INVESTOR PURCHASES

In March, the real estate marketplace said the U.S. was contending with a supply gap of about 3.8 million homes. 

Supply and affordability have been two major issues that many homebuyers have been dealing with in recent years.
