Start with the typical home: $558,883. Put 20% down and borrow $447,106 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 8.2% in 2000.

Take the typical home's price each month, borrow 80% at that month's actual 30-year average rate: in January 2000 (8.21%) the payment was $783.

In December 2020, with rates at 2.68%, it was $1,190.

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

Divide one by the other: in August 2026 dollars, the 2000 home was worth $258,133. So the real change is +117%, not +327%.

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 90% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 115.

Going out — closed sales: about 27 a month.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 4.2 months of supply — inside the 4–6 month balanced range. In the basin, that is the water level against the shaded balanced band.

The net reading: about 1 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 21 — so sales ran at 129% of it, and below it in 11 of the last 24 months.
