Why Home Prices are Increasing

There are a lot of theories as to why home values continue to increase.

Some of these theories include lending standards are becoming too lenient, and prices are approaching boom peaks because of irrational exuberance.

There are many opinions about the increase. But the theory of supply and demand can explain it better.

The supply and demand theory simply states that whenever there’s a limited supply of a high-demand item, its price increases.

The real estate industry is not an exception.

In the chart below, the values of homes that are less than six months in most housing markets will appreciate while those that are more than seven months will depreciate.
