Monthly cost vs. price
Start with the typical home: $426,468. Put 20% down and borrow $341,174 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.
That is $2,362 a month in principal and interest.
The median household here earns $122,083 a year, $10,174 a month. So the payment takes 23.2% 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 9.0% in 2000.

Home value after inflation
Deflated with CPI-U (seasonally adjusted, FRED CPIAUCSL) to August 2026; the site's Housing pulse chart uses its own CPI series, so older months can differ slightly.

General prices (CPI-U) rose +97% over the same span.
Divide one by the other: in August 2026 dollars, the 2000 home was worth $324,936. So the real change is +31%, not +159%.

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 26 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026). That is 69% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.
On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 35.
Going out — closed sales: about 23 a month. That is 68% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.
The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 1.5 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 3 more homes came on than sold each month, so inventory is growing. The basin is filling.
