How plugged is the drain? Two definitions, both ours, deliberately not reconciled.
Closed sales over 24 months — two different numbers, deliberately not merged.
Redfin market data (county + ZIP), via Lotvox. As of 2026-08-31. Normal = same-month median of monthly rates, minimum 3 same-month points. Source window 3 months (flows shown per month). Aggregated over a fixed panel of 50 zips — the panel is fixed so a change in who reports cannot look like a change in the market. months_of_supply is not published at this grain (0 non-null rows measured); derived here as active listings / closed sales per month.
BALANCED — Wilmington roughly fair, negotiate on a per-ZIP basis
