More entry-level homes – also known as starter homes – are popping up on the market. And after several years with very few homes available to buy and prices rising, there are finally some more options for first-time buyers.
Inventory is Increasing – Especially at Lower Price Points
Over the past year, the total supply of homes for sale has improved. According to Realtor.com, in November there were 26.2% more homes for sale compared to this time last year, marking 13 months of inventory growth and the most homes available since December of 2019.
Interestingly, the growth isn’t spread evenly among all types of homes, though. According to Redfin, starter homes have seen the biggest increase.
So, if you are a first-time buyer who’s been sitting on the sidelines waiting because you thought you might never find a starter home in your market, this could be a game changer. You finally have more options to choose from, and you just might be able to find one in your price range.
