The inventory of homes for sale remains very tight in many metros across the country, at a level that is 14.2 percent lower than December 2014.
At the rate of home sales in December, the national Months Supply of Inventory was 4.9, down from 5.7 one year ago.

“It’s possible that the TRID closing rule implementation caused November transactions to dip lower than normal, but now we see December bouncing back much stronger than the seasonal average,” said Dave Liniger, RE/MAX CEO, Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder.
“Perhaps many closings were simply pushed forward a month. But it’s nice to see the year end on an upbeat note, with sales significantly greater than the previous year. Overall, 2015 goes into the record books as a very good year for residential real estate.”
