Coming in — new listings: about 19 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026). That is 58% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 76.

Going out — closed sales: about 15 a month. That is 51% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months. The drain is drawn 35% narrower: the share of homes for sale that sell each month is 65% of its 2015–2019 level.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 5.2 months of supply — inside the 4–6 month balanced range. In the basin, that is the water level against the shaded balanced band.
