Start with the typical home: $168,393. Put 20% down and borrow $134,714 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

That is $933 a month in principal and interest.

The median household here earns $51,993 a year, $4,333 a month. So the payment takes 21.5% of income — rated “affordable” (Lotvox ZIP bands: under 28% affordable · 28–36% stretched · 36%+ severe).

The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 6.6% 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 $310.

In December 2020, with rates at 2.68%, it was $474.

By August 2026, at 6.67%, it was $866 — +83% since December 2020, while the home's value moved +15%.

Reported values rose +225% since January 2000.

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

Divide one by the other: in August 2026 dollars, the 2000 home was worth $102,205. So the real change is +65%, not +225%.

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 52 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026). That is 88% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 142. That is 85% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

Going out — closed sales: about 39 a month. That is 90% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 3.6 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 13 more homes came on than sold each month, so inventory is growing. The basin is filling.

Homes sold: about 39 a month in August 2026 (Redfin).

The 2015–2019 level for the same month was 40 — so sales ran at 98% of it, and below it in 20 of the last 24 months.
