Method

Sources
Realtor.com monthly listing inventory data (median days on market, listing prices, price cuts, active listings), ZIP codes, September 2026
Limits

Realtor.com figures cover listings on Realtor.com and are medians for each month; a metro's median can move when the mix of homes listed changes. This edition uses the latest month only (the full ZIP history file is very large) and covers all measurable ZIPs rather than only the top 200 metros. Search demand by ZIP is not included.
