Frequently asked questions
Which cities have the most homes for sale right now?
Seattle leads on homes for sale at +2.81% (+70), and Miami sits at the other end at −1.68% (−98). 6 of 10 tracked metros rose and 4 fell. Inventory is a count, so the figures here are homes rather than dollars, and a metro with more ZIP codes will naturally carry a larger total — the change matters more than the level.
What does a change in homes for sale tell you?
Inventory is the leading indicator on this map: supply turns before price does. Rising inventory hands negotiating room to buyers and usually shows up in price cuts before it reaches sale prices; falling inventory takes that room back.
Why are these metros and not cities?
Housing data is published for metro areas, and a metro is what people actually move between — someone leaving Dallas for Houston is not comparing two city halls. So "Dallas" here means the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, and the underlying figures come from its ZIP codes.
How often does this update?
Once a month, with the same published snapshot the rest of the site uses — currently 2026-08. It is not a live feed: housing data is published monthly, and a map implying minute-by-minute movement would invent precision the source does not have.
Each row is a metro area rather than a city boundary: “Dallas” means the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, which is the level housing data is published at and the level people actually move between. Typical home value and rent are the median across a metro’s tracked ZIP codes; homes for sale is the metro total. Figures come from the same monthly snapshot as the rest of the site (2026-08) and are defined in the HomeMarketCap.com methodology.
