Inventory Dipped, Buyer Demand Surged — What’s Really Going On?

Inventory Dipped, Buyer Demand Surged — What’s Really Going On?
‍

This week’s housing market feels like a plot twist:

📉 Inventory fell… right when
📈 Purchase applications jumped 25% year-over-year.
‍

Let’s chalk up that listings lull to the July 4th effect—holiday hangover, yes, but don’t count this market out, but don’t ignore what’s under the hood, this market has energy.

Here’s the quick scoop:

✓ Listings dipped to 60K — down, but still better than 2024.
✓ Price cuts hit 40.7% of homes — a sign sellers are adjusting.
✓ 23 straight weeks of positive buyer demand
✓ Mortgage rates held steady — spreads aren’t spiking (yet).
✓ All eyes are now on inflation, jobless claims, and builder confidence in the week ahead.
