Housing inventory

Dwindling inventories of existing homes in Toronto is driving sales of pricier newly built housing, another sign of tightening in Canada's largest real estate market.

Contract signings to purchase previously owned homes unexpectedly slumped in December, depressed by fewer listings of properties and representing a blemish after a recent spate of positive housing-market news.

Home prices in 20 U.S. cities rose in November at the fastest pace in nine months against a backdrop of stronger demand and lean housing inventory.

December was a busy month in Tampa Bay real estate as the number of single-family home sales jumped more than 25% in Hillsborough and Pasco counties compared with the same month in 2018.

Sales of new homes cooled for a third month in December, signaling a potential pullback after purchases climbed to some of the best levels in more than a decade amid lower borrowing costs and a solid labor market.

Statistics show the housing market for the Greater Cincinnati area, including Butler and Warren counties, remains strong and affordable.

December's potential for existing-home sales grew by 1.7% compared with November because of low mortgage rates, but in the future that factor could constrain the housing market, First American Financial said.

Home prices in metro Atlanta were higher in 2019 than the year before, but that didn't deter buyers in the month of December.

If you're in the market for a home in Walla Walla, Wash., options may feel a little slim lately.

Sales of previously owned homes jumped in December to the best pace in nearly two years as historically low interest rates continued to lure buyers despite record-low inventory.
