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

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 56.

Going out — closed sales: about 27 a month.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 2.1 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 7 more homes sold than came on each month, so inventory is shrinking. The basin is draining.

Homes sold: about 27 a month in August 2026 (Redfin).

The 2015–2019 level for the same month was 12 — so sales ran at 225% of it, and below it in 3 of the last 24 months.
