As housing supply continues to increase across the country, prospective buyers’ housing expectations are on the rise as well, with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reporting the share of prospective buyers expecting their home search to be easier in the coming months climbed to 22% in the second quarter, up from 17% in the first quarter.
