houses keep disappearing

The more I keep looking, the less I think I'm going to be able to find something this year.

Properties just keep disappearing off the market. People are renting out and moving so a cheap apartment instead of selling (which they have every right to do). I keep getting outbid and properties end up going to someone else.

I wonder what's going to happen? I think I'll call my Realtor and see if there is any news.
