Listings always increase from winter to spring though. What increase is normal?

That number is YOY. Supply is up dramatically.

Ah, ok

Superkid

Yet despite not wanting to lose the killer rate, home sales and listings have increased like crazy year over year.

Well, the early 1980s correction wasn't the same as the early 90s correction which wasn't the same as the correction

So you're saying we don't have to worry about a correction, potentially a massive one in some markets?

We are looking to move to the Phoenix area, but not for another 1-2 years.

There’s a lot of people with $6k/month mortgages right now just trying to make ends meet until they can do the refinance

Yeah, unfortunately that might be a while.
