Housing inventory is surging across the U.S., with new listings up over 11% and total active listings rising more than 30% year-over-year. But despite more homes hitting the market, many buyers are still on the sidelines—held back by high mortgage rates and ongoing affordability concerns. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest data from Realtor.com’s Weekly Housing Trends Report and explains why increased supply isn't translating into stronger demand. You’ll also hear insights on inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and how buyer sentiment is shifting as the typical home spends longer on the market.
