Housing Inventory Explained

Housing inventory is the key to understanding whether you’re in a buyer’s or seller’s market—measured in “months of supply.” Right now, the U.S. sits at about 4.4 months, meaning sellers hold the advantage with rising prices and limited choices. But the real problem? A chronic shortage fueled by decades-old construction delays, skyrocketing home prices (40% more expensive than renting), and high mortgage rates pushing buyers out. Most homes are out of reach for middle-income families, leaving only luxury options—and local markets vary wildly. Check your neighborhood, not national stats, to see what’s really happening where you live. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
