Start with the typical home: $438,590. Put 20% down and borrow $350,872 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 14.0% in 2000.

Picture the Listings Flow Ladder as a basin: new listings pour in from the faucet, the homes for sale are the water, and closed sales run out the drain. Coming in — new listings: about 70 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026). That is 80% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 148. That is 69% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

Going out — closed sales: about 58 a month. That is 74% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 2.6 months of supply — below the 4–6 month range Lotvox treats as balanced. In the basin, that is the water level against the shaded balanced band.

The net reading: about 12 more homes came on than sold each month, so inventory is growing. The basin is filling.

Homes sold: about 58 a month in August 2026 (Redfin).

The 2015–2019 level for the same month was 60 — so sales ran at 97% of it, and below it in 18 of the last 24 months.
