This marks the third month in a row with faster yearly growth, a definite change of pace from late Q2 when annual growth had slowed to just about 2%. (Remember, a year ago, inventory was growing at a whopping 17% rate!)<\/p>\n<p>Even so, national inventory is still a touch under pre-pandemic levels, sitting at 1.16 million active listings\u2014about 5% below the same point in 2019. With mortgage rates and long-term yields at two-year highs, demand has cooled off a bit. As we head into the slower season, buyers are finding a little more room to negotiate. I always encourage my clients to look beyond the headline numbers: if you want a sharper read on supply, try comparing active listings per 1,000 households against the 2018-2019 average. It\u2019s a little detail that can really show whether your local market is above or below the old \u201cnormal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After years helping folks navigate the ups and downs of real estate (and life!), I know how much having the right info\u2014and a bit of heart\u2014can help you move forward with confidence.
