"Housing inventory growth during the prime selling season was up 33% year over year, and recently it has moved lower toward 16%. As demand picked up slightly, and new listings data began to decline, the growth rate of inventory has slowed by half, but remains up year over year in a healthy manner. The year-over-year growth has provided a much more buyer-friendly marketplace, but we are entering the seasonal decline in inventory for 2025."
"Weekly inventory change (Oct. 31-Nov. 7 ): Inventory fell from 856,701 to 842,242 The same week last year (Nov. 1-Nov. 8): Inventory fell from 735,663 to 721,576 Over the past three weeks, our Housing Market Tracker has shown some fluctuating data, but things seem to be returning to normal. Last week, we saw some growth in new listings even as we enter a seasonal decline period. Once again, in 2025, the new listings data is not exhibiting any signs of seller stress."
Housing inventory decreased from 856,701 to 842,242 in the week of Oct. 31–Nov. 7, while pending sales rose 15.6% year over year, indicating stronger buyer activity. Inventory growth in the prime selling season was up 33% year over year and has recently moved lower toward 16% as demand picked up and new listings declined, which slowed inventory growth by about half while keeping it positive year over year. New listings totaled 55,481 in 2025 versus 48,863 in 2024, with no signs of seller stress. Approximately one-third of homes typically see price reductions, and price-cut percentages are higher than last year amid more inventory and elevated mortgage rates.
