I've made some calls to realtors I know and they have confirmed how serious a problem it is… and suggested this reason:

Incredibly low “teaser rates” offered a couple years ago are now ending and the regular rates are kicking in. That means that housing expenses for many people are now increasing — and in many cases, those expenses are increasing much higher than expected.
