Inventory Levels for the 10 Largest States by Population

Relative to their population, Florida and Texas continue to over-index for listings, while California significantly under-indexes. Florida has twice the listing share you’d expect given its population share, while California has half the listing share you expect given its population share.

(!!!) Texas has twice as many active listings (131,869) as California does (66,283), despite having only 78% of California’s population! And Florida has 2.5X as many active listings (163,059) as California, despite having 59% of California’s population.

There are currently 19 states with inventory levels (November 2025) that are ABOVE their pre-pandemic levels (November 2019). There were 18 in October, and 16 in September. Most of the states with inventory levels that are well above pre-pandemic levels are in the South or Mountain West.

19 States where Inventory Levels (Nov 2025) are ABOVE Pre-Pandemic Levels (Nov 2019)

District of Columbia: +74.4%
Arizona: +39.1%
Tennessee: +37.0%
Texas: +34.3%

The Friendly Handshake for Your Dream Home 🤝

FHA Loans are the gateway for aspiring homeowners to finally ditch the rental life. Backed by the federal government, they don’t give you the money (unfortunately), but they’ll high-five your bank to make sure you’re covered in case life happens.

🏠 What Makes Them Special?

Lower down payments = more money for takeout in your new kitchen.
Flexible credit requirements = a second chance for those “youthful spending decisions.”

💼 Real Talk for Smart Buyers:
The FHA ensures banks against potential losses, so they’re more likely to say “yes” to you. But here’s the trade-off: you’ll need to factor in mortgage insurance premiums.

🎯 Tagline:
"Why rent when you can own? FHA Loans make dreams doable!"
