The answer is simple: YES! \u2013 as long as there are more purchasers in the market than there are available homes for them to buy.

Every month this year, demand (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/newsroom\/existing-home-sales-subside-06-percent-in-june\">buyer traffic<\/a>) has increased as compared to last year and for the first five months of 2018, supply (the number of available listings) had decreased as compared to last year. However, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/newsroom\/existing-home-sales-subside-06-percent-in-june\">recent report<\/a> by the <em>National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR) revealed the first year-over-year increase in supply in three years.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the numbers for supply and demand as compared to last year since the beginning of 2018:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/26140849\/20180809-STM-ENG.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-37921\" src=\"http:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/26140849\/20180809-STM-ENG.jpeg\" alt=\"Supply &#038; Demand Will Determine Future Home Values | Simplifying The Market\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"http:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/26140849\/20180809-STM-ENG.jpeg 2000w, http:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/26140849\/20180809-STM-ENG-400x300.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/26140849\/20180809-STM-ENG-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The increase in the June numbers doesn\u2019t mean that prices won\u2019t continue to appreciate.
