Redfin Reports Housing Supply Ends 2024 On the Rise, Up 12% Year Over Year

Active listings are rising in part because many homes are lingering on the market, causing supply to pile up

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(NASDAQ: RDFN) — Active listings climbed 12% year over year during the four weeks ending December 22, though that was the smallest increase since March, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

Redfin is taking a break from analysis this week, but please see the tables below for the latest housing-market data. Redfin will be back with full commentary after the holidays.

Note: Some metrics are showing weakness compared to a year earlier due to the timing of the Thanksgiving holiday; the four-week period ending Dec. 22, 2024 that Redfin uses in the final two tables below includes Thanksgiving, while the comparable period a year earlier (four weeks ending Dec. 24, 2023) does not include Thanksgiving.
