Reading it right
- This is homes still for sale, not how fast homes sold. Homes that sold quickly have already left the list, so these figures lean toward slower listings.
- Days on market are as reported on each listing. A home taken off the market and listed again may show a fresh count.
- A price cut means the listing shows a current price below its original list price.
- One day’s snapshot: the list changes daily, and small cities can swing with a few listings.
- San Jose: the first 1,200 listings read.
