Monthly cost vs. price
Start with the typical home: $280,866. Put 20% down and borrow $224,693 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.
That is $1,556 a month in principal and interest.
The median household here earns $71,651 a year, $5,971 a month. So the payment takes 26.1% 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 10.3% in 2000.

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 88 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026). That is 120% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.
On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 270. That is 85% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.
Going out — closed sales: about 73 a month. That is 102% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.
The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 3.7 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 15 more homes came on than sold each month, so inventory is growing. The basin is filling.
