Existing Home Sales: Months Supply (HOSSUPUSM673N)

Source: National Association of Realtors

Units: Months' Supply, Not Seasonally Adjusted

Frequency: Monthly

Notes:

The National Association of Realtors monthly housing indicators are based on a representative sample of local boards and multiple listing services. Sales volume, inventory, and price levels for existing homes are measured for the US in aggregate and by census region. Existing homes, unlike new homes, are homes that are owned and occupied before coming onto the market.

Months' supply refers to the number of months it would take for the current inventory of homes on the market to sell given the current sales pace.

Notes:

The months' supply is the ratio of new houses for sale to new houses sold.

The months' supply indicates how long the current new for-sale inventory would last given the current sales rate if no additional new houses were built.
