How to read these numbers
Three numbers are enough: how many homes are for sale (active listings), how many arrive (new listings), how many leave (sales). The first divided by the third gives the months of inventory. Under 4 months, the seller picks the buyer; above 6, the buyer picks; in between, the asking price decides. The QPAREB uses higher thresholds (8 to 10 months of balance) for whole regions; a city reads with lower ones. September 2026, the month in progress, is shown but excluded from the medians.
