Some of the frustrations come from homes that could be listed on the market are not, that’s due to some currents homeowners not being able to find their next home. With a lack of homes on the market, potential home buyers are doing everything possible to secure a home no matter what the cost might be.

"At the beginning of the process, with a lot of buyers, they are trying to make offers that are only two or three thousand dollars over asking prices and getting beat out several times. They'll start making these offers that are ten, twenty and thirty thousand dollars over asking price just to secure a home", said President-Elect of Lake Superior Area Realtors, Karen Pagel Guerndt.
