The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nonfarm payroll employment rose by 165,000 in October 2026 and revised August and September up by a combined 84,000 jobs.

The statewide median is an n-weighted aggregate of county medians, so it moves with mix as well as with price.

Closings are the cleanest demand signal we hold, because a closed sale is a completed decision rather than an intention.

Permits lead completions by roughly a year, so this is next year's supply, not this month's.

Falling days on market favours sellers; rising days favours buyers. Direction alone does not say who is winning.

Measured against the ORIGINAL list price, so it captures cuts made during the listing, not just the final negotiation.

Price per square foot strips size mix out of the headline median.

Active listings each June. Annual, because no monthly active-listing history exists yet.

Pending sales counted across the same nineteen markets. A flow: contracts signed that month, the step before closing.

Share of closed sales flagged new construction in the six markets whose builder records reconcile exactly, every month.

Share of closed sales recorded as cash across the seven feeds whose financing field is populated. The Tampa and Orlando core is not yet measured.

Standing for-sale stock divided by that month's closings. Around six months is the traditional line between buyer and seller leverage.

New listings entering the measured feeds each month. A flow: fresh supply, the step before active inventory.
