Agent:

Even though inventory is improving in many markets, some neighborhoods still have a major supply shortage.

In certain ZIP codes, there are less than two months of housing supply available — which is still considered a strong seller’s market.

This usually happens in areas with strong schools, job centers, and limited land for new development.

Another factor is homeowner behavior. Many owners with low mortgage rates are still holding onto their homes, which keeps available listings tight in specific neighborhoods.

The result is a local inventory gap — where one part of a city may feel balanced, while another remains highly competitive.

For buyers, it means understanding that real estate is hyper-local. The conditions in one ZIP code can be completely different just a few miles away.

If you’re buying or selling, knowing the supply levels in your specific area can make a huge difference in your strategy.
