About this episode
Spring housing demand is arriving earlier than expected — and some of the fastest-moving markets in the country are in the Midwest. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down new data from HousingWire showing buyers are absorbing homes faster than new listings are hitting the market. Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois are leading the nation in housing demand, with homes selling quickly as inventory remains tight. Kathy also explains why absorption rates are becoming one of the most important indicators of housing market momentum — and what these trends could mean for real estate investors heading into the spring buying season. 📈🏡 Want to learn more about investing in real estate?
