Monthly cost vs. price
Start with the typical home: $77,887. Put 20% down and borrow $62,310 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.
That is $431 a month in principal and interest.
The median household here earns $32,530 a year, $2,711 a month. So the payment takes 15.9% of income — rated “affordable” (Lotvox ZIP bands: under 28% affordable · 28–36% stretched · 36%+ severe).
The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 9.4% in 2013.

Listings Flow Ladder
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 41 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026).
On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 137.
Going out — closed sales: about 22 a month. The drain is drawn 2% narrower: the share of homes for sale that sell each month is 98% of its 2015–2019 level.
The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 6.3 months of supply — above the 4–6 month balanced range. In the basin, that is the water level against the shaded balanced band.
The net reading: about 19 more homes came on than sold each month, so inventory is growing. The basin is filling.
