Being a buyer in this low inventory marketplace can be frustrating to say the least. Unless you are a buyer shopping above the $1,500,000 price range, you will be competing against many other hopeful buyers who want the same home as you.

Over $1,000,000, we only have a three months' supply. There are only 64...

But state officials said M...
