When assessing house value momentum, ResiClub believes it’s vital to watch energetic listings and months of provide. If energetic listings begin to quickly enhance as houses stay in the marketplace for longer durations, it might point out pricing softness or weak spot. Conversely, a speedy decline in energetic listings may counsel a market that’s heating up.

Typically talking, native housing markets the place energetic stock has jumped above pre-pandemic 2019 ranges have skilled softer house value progress (or outright value declines) over the previous 36 months. Conversely, native housing markets the place energetic stock stays far beneath pre-pandemic 2019 ranges have, usually talking, skilled extra resilient house value progress over the previous 36 months.
The place is stock heading deeper into summer season? As ResiClub communicated to ResiClub PRO members in late 2023—and reaffirmed final fall—we count on nationwide energetic stock to strategy pre-pandemic 2019 ranges within the second half of 2025. That’s nonetheless the trajectory we’re on.
Nationwide energetic listings are on the rise (+28.9% between June 2024 and June 2025). This means that homebuyers have gained some leverage in lots of elements of the nation over the previous 12 months. Some sellers’ markets have changed into balanced markets, and extra balanced markets have changed into patrons’ markets.
Nationally, we’re nonetheless beneath pre-pandemic 2019 stock ranges (-11.3% beneath June 2019), and a few resale markets, specifically massive chunks of the Midwest and Northeast, nonetheless stay tight-ish.

As ResiClub has been documenting, each energetic resale and new houses on the market stay essentially the most restricted throughout large swaths of the Midwest and Northeast. That’s the place house sellers this spring had, comparatively talking, extra energy.
In distinction, energetic housing stock on the market has neared or surpassed pre-pandemic 2019 ranges in lots of elements of the Solar Belt and Mountain West, together with metro-area housing markets resembling Austin and Punta Gorda, Florida. Many of those areas noticed main value surges in the course of the pandemic housing growth, with house costs getting stretched, in contrast with native incomes. As pandemic-driven home migration slowed and mortgage charges rose, markets like Austin and Tampa, Florida, confronted challenges, counting on native earnings ranges to help frothy house costs. This softening pattern was accelerated additional by an abundance of latest house provide within the Solar Belt.
Builders are sometimes keen to decrease costs or supply affordability incentives (if they’ve the margins to take action) to take care of gross sales in a shifted market, which additionally has a cooling impact on the resale market: Some patrons, who would have beforehand thought of current houses, at the moment are choosing new houses with extra favorable offers. That places further upward stress on resale stock.
In latest months, that softening has accelerated once more in West Coast markets, too—together with a lot of California.
