How plugged is the drain? Two definitions, both ours, deliberately not reconciled.

  • 21%Absorption vs its own normal— 1 - (closed sales / active listings) / same-month median of that ratio
  • 37%Closed sales vs its own normal— 1 - closed sales per month / same-month median closed sales per month
  • Hartman, 2026-06-27“faucet at a trickle, basin about half of the normal level, drain about 30% plugged”— his own feed; he states no formula for the percentages
  • Hartman, 2026-09-03“drain about 35 to 40% clogged, basin about 65% full”— Thoughtful Money - MIXED SPEAKER transcript, analogy only, not attribution

Closed sales over 24 months — two different numbers, deliberately not merged.

  • 14/mofall in the monthly rate (35%)— peak 40/mo (2025-04-30) to 26/mo now
  • 198transactions that did not happen— summed monthly shortfall vs the same-month normal, over 22 months below it (vs 2015-19 (COVID excluded))
  • rate_drop_from_peak is a change in the monthly rate; cumulative_shortfall_vs_normal counts transactions not transacted. They are different quantities and are not interchangeable.

Redfin market data (county + ZIP), via Lotvox. As of 2026-05-31. Normal = same-month median of monthly rates, minimum 3 same-month points. A fresher supply-only read (22 new, 126 active, 2026-06-01, Realtor.com inventory (county + ZIP), via Lotvox) is available but is NOT used in the net — that source publishes no closed sales, so subtracting across it would mix two vintages.
