Where do these figures come from?

Redfin Data Center Market Tracker supplies this measure. States without a comparable published value are shown as not ranked rather than estimated.

How should I use this ranking?

Use it to narrow a search, then open a state or county profile for the underlying figures, source dates and caveats. A statewide number may not describe every neighbourhood.

Lowest active listings by state

Homes for sale during the period.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

The total number of homes that were available for sale at any point during the period. It is distinct from Redfin’s Inventory measure, which is only a final-day snapshot. This is a count, so it is best read as local market activity rather than a like-for-like availability comparison between differently sized places. The site displays the reported monthly Redfin figure.
