How active inventory is counted
Active inventory is the count of homes currently for sale and not yet under contract. It is a snapshot, so timing within the month matters; the infographic uses a consistent capture point so month-over-month comparisons are fair.
Why months of supply is the key read
Months of supply divides active inventory by the recent sales pace. Roughly under three months favors sellers, three to six is balanced, and above six favors buyers. It translates a raw count into market leverage.
How to read supply direction
Rising inventory and lengthening months of supply usually signal a cooling, more buyer-friendly market; falling supply signals tightening and seller leverage. New-listing volume hints at what is coming, since today's new listings become next month's active inventory.
