At the end of March 2025, national active housing inventory for sale was up 28.5% year-over-year. That year-over-year active inventory growth is happening just about everywhere.
The recent jump in active inventory for sale tells us that homebuyers have gained some leverage in most housing markets over the past year. Some “seller’s markets have turned into “balanced markets,” while some “balanced markets” have turned into “buyer’s markets.”
While active listings are rising year-over-year in most regional housing markets, most markets are still below pre-pandemic 2019 inventory levels. (In March 2025, national active housing inventory for sale was still 20% below pre-pandemic March 2019 levels.)
