Start with the typical home: $257,119. Put 20% down and borrow $205,695 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

The median household here earns $56,519 a year, $4,710 a month. So the payment takes 30.2% of income — rated “stretched” (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 8.4% in 2000.

General prices (CPI-U) rose +97% over the same span.

Divide one by the other: in August 2026 dollars, the 2000 home was worth $140,929. So the real change is +82%, not +260%.

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 11 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026).

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 29.

Going out — closed sales: about 13 a month. The drain is drawn 8% narrower: the share of homes for sale that sell each month is 92% of its 2015–2019 level.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 2.2 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 2 more homes sold than came on each month, so inventory is shrinking. The basin is draining.

Homes sold: about 13 a month in August 2026 (Redfin).

The 2015–2019 level for the same month was 10 — so sales ran at 130% of it, and below it in 0 of the last 24 months.
