How to read months of supply +

Months of supply estimates how long the homes currently for sale would last if no new homes came to market. Below 4 months can favor sellers; 4–6 months is a more even playing field; above 6 months can give buyers more choice. It describes the county as a whole—not the expected time to sell one home.

Median prices reflect the mix of homes sold, not the appreciation of an individual property. Data is displayed with its report date so the context stays clear.
