Where Did All the Houses Go? Understanding the Inventory Shortage

Where did all the houses go?

Housing inventory across New York and New Jersey has dropped dramatically—from roughly 70,000 homes on the market pre-2020 to just 20,000–30,000 today.

The reason isn’t lack of demand—it’s a supply lock. Homeowners with historically low mortgage rates are choosing to hold or rent rather than sell, creating a highly competitive environment for buyers.
