A busy time of year in real estate, spring typically sees a spike in housing market activity. Recent data suggests this spring will be busier than last year’s in terms of sales and listings.
The RE/MAX National Housing Report for April 2024, a survey of 50 U.S. metro areas, revealed that home sales were up 9% from April of a year ago. New listings increased 18.2% from the year prior, too. Prospective homebuyers who have been seeking more options to choose from should be happy about this uptick in inventory.
According to the report, five cities stood out for having a significantly higher number of homes on the market this spring. Here’s a look:
1. Tampa, Florida
