After declining for three consecutive quarters, the share of homebuyers actively searching for a home grew to 49% nationally in the second quarter of 2022, up from 46% the previous quarter, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) recent Housing Trends Report. NAHB economists credit the rise in buyer activity to a less competitive housing market, which has motivated more prospective buyers to advance from the planning stage of the homebuying process to actively trying to purchase a home.
