U.S. Housing Inventory & Median Listing

This chart provides a comprehensive view of the U.S. housing market, focusing on active listing count and median listing price.

1. Active Listing Count in the U.S.: This captures the total number of active real estate listings in the United States. A decrease in active listings can indicate a tighter housing market, with fewer options for potential buyers.

2. Median Listing Price in the U.S.: This shows the median listing price for houses on the market in the United States. This serves as an indicator of the cost of housing and can reflect market demand.

By juxtaposing active listings and median listing price, this chart provides valuable insights into the supply-demand dynamics in the U.S. housing market.

Potential Interpretations:

Positive Scenario: A stable or increasing number of active listings alongside a steady median listing price could suggest a balanced housing market, providing fair opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Negative Scenario: If active listings are declining and the median listing price is rising sharply, it may signify a seller's market where high demand and limited supply are driving up housing prices. This could potentially make home ownership less accessible for certain segments of the population.
