The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 15.1% in 2000.

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

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

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 45.

Going out — closed sales: about 11 a month.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 3.97 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 came on than sold each month, so inventory is growing. The basin is filling.

Homes sold: about 11 a month in August 2026 (Redfin).

The 2015–2019 level for the same month was 13 — so sales ran at 85% of it, and below it in 21 of the last 24 months.
