Start with the typical home: $655,654. Put 20% down and borrow $524,523 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 16.0% in 2000.

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 16 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026). That is 62% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 76.

Going out — closed sales: about 20 a month. That is 68% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 3.8 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 4 more homes sold than came on each month, so inventory is shrinking. The basin is draining.

Homes sold: about 20 a month in August 2026 (Redfin).

The 2015–2019 level for the same month was 22 — so sales ran at 91% of it, and below it in 24 of the last 24 months.
