HousingWire Tracker: U.S. Housing Inventory Falls to 895,988, 43% of Listings Carry Price Cuts and Mortgage Rates Climb to 7.50%
U.S. housing inventory has entered its seasonal decline, according to HousingWire's latest weekly Housing Market Tracker: in the week of November 6 to 13, inventory fell from 902,740 to 895,988 homes, with year-over-year growth slowing to 7.11%. New listings totaled 53,162, below the 56,569 recorded in the same week of 2025, though HousingWire notes 2026 remains the strongest year for new listings since 2022.
On pricing, 43% of active listings have taken a price cut, up from 42% in 2025. Weekly pending sales came in at 50,623, versus 60,722 a year earlier, while demand has stabilized over the last four weeks. The week's biggest move was in rates: mortgage rates reversed from 7.17% to 7.50% on hawkish Federal Reserve statements and hot inflation data, even as mortgage spreads improved to 2.13% from 2.27%.
The tracker, compiled by analyst Logan Mohtashami using Altos Research data, is the newest installment of the weekly series GSM covered last week. Inventory typically keeps falling into winter, and buyers' leverage will hinge on whether rates settle at these levels. (Source: HousingWire)
