Consistent month-to-month increases, and wide year-over-year gains point to a market steadily rebalancing after years of tight supply.

The second group of charts from Lance Lambert’s Inventory Tracker show the year over year inventory growth of county markets since 2017.

More sellers are entering the market, and homes are staying available longer – signs of buyer leverage returning and a shift toward balanced conditions across much of the Tri-Cities region.

A more precise breakdown of inventory balance for the regiou’s four primay areas by price teirs will be available later this month.

If the current pace continues, 2025 will close as the second consecutive year of meaningful inventory recovery, setting up 2026 as a test of how well demand can absorb the growing supply.
