By mid-Q3 2026, active listings across the US reached 1.14 million\u2014about a 4% increase from last year\u2019s 1.1 million. That\u2019s progress, but growth is clearly cooling compared to the roughly 21% jump we saw just a year before. Even with a slight rebound from a low point of 2% growth in late Q2, we\u2019re still not back to pre-pandemic levels: national supply remains about 8% lower than mid-Q3 2019, with 1.14 million active listings versus 1.24 million at that time. Interestingly, 18 states and DC have now surpassed their 2019 inventory levels, even as the country as a whole lags behind. The intense post-boom softening has eased, leaving us in a softer market with flat prices year-over-year\u2014something that both buyers and sellers should be mindful of, especially with higher yields and mortgage rates in play. My experience navigating dynamic markets in Las Vegas has taught me that understanding these shifts is key to making informed decisions, whether you\u2019re looking to buy, sell, or simply track the pulse of the industry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tracking national inventory trends is always essential for understanding the current real estate landscape.
