The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 12.6% 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 41 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026). That is 98% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 185. That is 94% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

Going out — closed sales: about 44 a month. That is 106% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months. The drain is drawn 2% narrower: the share of homes for sale that sell each month is 98% of its 2015–2019 level.

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 3 more homes sold than came on each month, so inventory is shrinking. The basin is draining.

Homes sold: about 44 a month in August 2026 (Redfin).

The 2015–2019 level for the same month was 31 — so sales ran at 142% of it, and below it in 9 of the last 24 months.
