Market Pace: DOM and Active Inventory

Monthly median days-on-market and city-level active inventory — the cadence at which the market is breathing. Low DOM + low inventory = seller’s market; high DOM + high inventory = negotiating window. Both charts below are single-family residential (SFR) only — condos and townhouses are excluded.
