That\u2019s a slower pace than last year\u2019s rapid increases, and overall, we\u2019re still 7.7% below 2019\u2019s pre-pandemic levels. Some states\u2014especially in the Sun Belt and Mountain West\u2014have returned to, or even surpassed, their 2019 inventory, while others are seeing more modest changes. Prices, interestingly, are staying mostly flat despite these adjustments. As someone who guides everyone from first-time buyers to seasoned investors, I see how important it is to understand these trends\u2014especially for those navigating VA loans or looking to build a foundation for their families. I\u2019m committed to making sure our community is prepared and informed, whether you\u2019re buying, selling, or simply keeping a pulse on the market. Let\u2019s keep empowering each other with knowledge so every real estate decision is the right one for you and your loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a class=\"roomvu-news-continue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.resiclubanalytics.com\/p\/18-states-back-above-pre-pandemic-housing-market-inventory-levels\"><\/p>\n<div>Continue to full article<\/div>\n<p>\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Housing inventory is starting to shift across the country, with national numbers rising 3.8% year-over-year.
