📣 Sellers — the data just shifted in your favor. Here's what happened this week.

For the first time, housing inventory flipped negative year-over-year.

That's a big deal — and here's why it matters if you're thinking about listing:

- Inventory: 795,921 homes available vs. 803,479 this week last year — LESS competition for you
- New listings at 71,249 this week — still well below the historical norm of 80,000–100,000/week
- Pending sales: 69,215 in 2026 vs. 68,071 in 2025 — buyers are actively writing contracts
- Purchase apps up 5% YoY — a healthy 30–90 day pipeline of buyers is entering the market
- Price cuts at 36.88% vs. 38% last year — pricing discipline is being rewarded right now
- Mortgage rates at 6.56% have held below 7% all year — demand hasn't broken

Not long ago, inventory growth was running +33% year-over-year. That tailwind for buyers is now gone.

Demand has held firm even as rates rose from 5.99% to 6.75% this year. Buyers are motivated, inventory is tightening, and the sellers who price accurately and list now are stepping into one of the most favorable supply environments since 2023.

Multiyear-high inventory still means buyers have options — so condition and pricing still matter. But the trend is moving your direction.

🏡 Buyers — here's what this week's housing data means for YOU.

Inventory just flipped negative year-over-year. That means the window of relative choice you've had over the past year is starting to close. Here's what the numbers say:

- Mortgage rates: 6.56% this week — and haven't broken 7% all year
- Why? Mortgage spreads are the unsung hero. If 2023's worst spreads applied today, your rate would be 7.64% instead of 6.56%
- Inventory: 795,921 homes available — down from 803,479 last year. Less competition is shifting toward sellers
- Purchase apps up 5% YoY — you're not the only one looking right now
- Pending sales: 69,215 this week vs. 68,071 last year — homes are going under contract at a faster pace than 2025
- Price cuts at 36.88% — slightly lower than last year's 38%, meaning fewer discount opportunities

The critical threshold to watch: rates above 6.64% historically soften the market. Right now, you're below it.

Acting before spreads worsen or yields climb again could protect you from rates spiking back toward 7% or higher.

This is not the housing bubble. New listings during the bubble ran 250,000–400,000 per week. Today's number is 71,249. The fundamentals are sound — but supply is tightening.

Homeownership can offer so much more than just a place to live. 🏡

For many buyers, it’s about creating stability, building long-term financial confidence, and putting down roots in a community they love.

Every buyer’s goals look a little different, which is why finding the right home is about more than square footage alone.
