Bertram: New Listings vs. Closings Show Supply Gap

Bertram is seeing a shift in its balance between new supply and demand. Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, 97 new single-family listings entered the market while 70 homes closed. This gap of 27 more new listings than closings suggests inventory is slowly accumulating compared to the prior period. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the dual-axis trend of supply and demand events to highlight this dynamic. In the previous six-month window, there were 99 new listings against only 43 closings. While the number of new listings dropped slightly from 99 to 97, the volume of closed sales jumped significantly from 43 to 70. This increase in closings relative to new supply indicates that buyers are moving faster than they did six months ago, even as the total number of homes sold remains below the same period last year, which saw 60 closings and 107 new listings. The median days on market for these transactions rose to 62 days in the current window from 42 days previously, suggesting that while more deals are closing, they are taking longer to finalize than in the immediate past. The median close price also climbed 15% to $318,300, reflecting a market where demand is outpacing the rate of new supply growth in recent months. This data-driven view shows a market that is becoming more active but still faces a distinct gap between how many homes are listed and how many are sold. Want to see this home?
