New listings slump. Have home sellers already called it quits?
Briefly

In 2025, new home listings saw a significant uptick, exceeding 80,000 per week during the seasonal peak. While this is promising after two years of low listings, there are concerns about whether this trend will sustain, as last week revealed only minor growth in listings. Historically, peaks range from 80,000 to 110,000, contrasting sharply with the prior housing bubble. Inventory growth in recent years may indicate a healthier market, but an early downtrend could mirror the struggles of late 2022, prompting caution among potential sellers and buyers.
I forecasted that we would see around 80,000 new listings per week during peak periods, but that goal fell short, reaching only 75,000.
The most significant development in the housing market for me has been the growth of inventory in 2024 and 2025.
