We’ve been talking about a shortage of quality residential properties for some time. It’s true that new construction is taking some of the pressure off the re-sale housing market but, for those buyers looking to purchase and move-in right now—there is a shortage of properties and the purchase price is increasing on a steady and monthly projection.
