Answer:

shortage

Step-by-step explanation:

When demand is greater than the supply of a good, it means that there is a shortage in supply of that good. Probably the price of this good (apartments) tends to rise. Conversely, when demand is less than supply, there is an excess of this good and the price tends to decrease. This is simply the law of supply and demand.
