Realtor.com is estimating that current low levels of housing inventory will go even lower in 2020. New listings increased in January 2019 by 6.4 percent but have been declining every month since, with June seeing a decline of 2.3 percent compared to June 2018.

Finally, there are growing concerns about the overall health of the economy.th
