The quarterly reportevaluates the supply of starter, trade-up and premium homes for sale across the U.S. and in the country’s largest metro areas.

Overall, there were 5.1% fewer homes on the market year-over-year in the first quarter of 2017, Trulia reported. The metro areas that have experienced the strongest home price growth since 2012 were also the housing markets with the lowest levels of inventory, Trulia said. Inventory of starter homes — which are typically more affordable and desirable among first-time home buyers — and trade-up homes dipped 8.7% and 7.9%, respectively, year-over-year. Meanwhile, the numberof premium homes slipped just 1.7%. For would-be home buyers, especially millennial first-time buyers, saving for a down payment amid rising home prices and low inventory presents the biggest obstacle to homeownership.
“In markets plagued with tight inventory and decreasing affordability, millennials, who make up most of these first-time buyers, may find homeownership increasingly out of reach,” Ralph McLaughlin, Trulia’s chief economist, said in a news release. “However, there continues to be an uptick in new construction, which should help increase supply in some inventory-constrained markets.” !function(e,t,i,n,r,d){function o(e,i,n,r){t[s].list.push({id:e,title:r,container:i,type:n})}var a=”script”,s=”InfogramEmbeds”,c=e.getElementsByTagName(a),l=c[0];if(/^/{2}/.test(i)&&0===t.location.protocol.indexOf(“file”)&&(i=”http:”+i),!t[s]){t[s]={script:i,list:[]};var m=e.createElement(a);m.async=1,m.src=i,l.parentNode.insertBefore(m,l)}t[s].add=o;var p=c[c.length-1],f=e.createElement(“div”);p.parentNode.insertBefore(f,p),t[s].add(n,f,r,d)}(document,window,”//e.infogr.am/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js”,”3272017-601158545″,”interactive”,””); Homeowners looking to lower their mortgage rate can shop for refinance lenders here.
