Selling a house has become a difficult task in many cities across the U.S. Years of strained affordability have pushed homebuyers to the sidelines, causing inventory to build up and prompting some sellers to take their homes off the market until competition improves.

Trends vary widely by region, though—usually driven by how many buyers and sellers there are. In the Midwest and Northeast, buyers tend to outnumber sellers, creating faster markets with rising prices; in the South, there are typically far more sellers than buyers, creating slower-moving markets.
