There are also a number of programs out there to help consumers purchase a home, the website said. Many people are using their community's workforce housing programs to help them buy their own place. Mortgage rates are also still incredibly low, which makes owning a home much more affordable.
More reasons include the clearing out of foreclosed properties, ForSaleByOwner.com said. This is bringing more "desirable" homes to market that many consumers have been waiting for.
