@phicyclist I wonder how that compares to the weeks prior. Is the housing market just booming so every week nearly 20% of listings are new? Might make a stronger point to have the data to compare.
Hard data is preferable; I have not had a chance to dig thoroughly on it yet.
From my experience alone, a rise in listings signifies selling interest due to either rising prices (cashing out) or distress (move at any cost); I don't see the former. This could also be a backlog delayed by the shutdown. We'll have to see if buyers materialize.
Nearly 20% of an entire market seems exceedingly high.
