The inventory is not there. It’s the lowest its been in decades. If corporations own a house and they’re letting it rot it is still not available and thus is not inventory. I’ve been in RE tech for 15 years and our databases have never been this empty.
We generally measure inventory in months and considered 6months worth of sales to be the minimum requirement for a buyers market. We’re currently measuring it in days in may cities. Inventory is so low we had to add a 3rd type of market as this market is bad for both sellers and buyers. This is an investors market.
Honestly I don’t care what the official term, at all. If its empty housing, it’s inventory. If you’re sitting on empty housing because the rent isn’t high enough for you, you’re part of the problem. We have the housing. We also have limitless amounts of greed and selfishness.
Those are lovely thoughts; unfortunately not pertinent to what we’re talking about. The bottom line is the properties are not a available for purchase and the only force in the country likely to change that in the short term is a major recession. People can’t buy it, so it might as well not exist.
Remember, this is a country that legally requires restaurants to destroy billions of calories of perfectly good food and subsidizes farmers to let more food rot in fields all while children starve. Money being more important than lives is the basis of our economy. Corporations will only change if its more profitable to do otherwise or they’re force to by legislation. And half the government is pulling out every legal maneuver in the books to stop it any law changes. It sucks, but you have to see it to change it.
