August 25, 2022

But, amid waning demand, there are still potential homebuyers on the sidelines waiting to jump back into the market.

After declining for three consecutive quarters, the share of homebuyers actively searching for a home grew to 49% nationally in the second quarter of 2022, up from 46% the previous quarter, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) recent Housing Trends Report. NAHB economists credit the rise in buyer activity to a less competitive housing market, which has motivated more prospective buyers to advance from the planning stage of the homebuying process to actively trying to purchase a home.
