Fierce competition due to home shortage
The newest problem for this slowly improving housing market isn't a shortage of serious buyers, it's a shortage of good homes.
The housing inventory dropped to levels that haven't been seen since the bubble years. The number of homes for sale in the U.S. hit 2.5 million in April which is the lowest April since 2006, according to the National Association of Realtors.
The lack of available homes is frustrating for many people wishing to purchase new homes and they are now trying to find homes before they are listed.

Best year for local housing market since before recession
This year is turning out to be the best for the local housing market since before the recession. Home sales are up all over Dallas and home purchases are up more than 25% higher than last year.
A pickup in job growth, low interest rates and relatively affordable home prices have buyers becoming more confident about the economic environment.
Even though there is a widespread gain in the number of home sales, prices are rebounding much more slowly. The sellers are finally taking low prices for their property after sitting for two years.
