The supply situation has changed a lot in percentage terms since the beginning of April. Although the number of active listings remains low by long term standards, a few segments of the market have seen buyers suddenly faced with almost twice as many homes to choose from.

Here is how it varies by price range for single-family detached homes:

• Homes under $400,000 have increased from 638 to 644 (+1%)
• Homes between $400,000 and $500,000 have increased from 874 to 1,118 (+28%)
• Homes between $500,000 and $600,000 have increased from 586 to 878 (+50%)
• Homes between $600,000 and $800,000 have increased from 632 to 893 (+41%)
• Homes between $800,000 and $1,000,000 have increased from 312 to 431 (+38%)
• Homes between $1 million and £1.5 million have increased from 268 to 364 (+36%)
• Homes between $1.5 million and $2 million have increased from 92 to 171 (+86%)
• Homes between $2 million and $3 million have increased from 90 to 151 (+68%)
• Homes over $3 million have increased from 234 to 254 (+9%)

These numbers are for active listings without a contract. That is, they exclude UCB and CCBS active listings.

We can see it is the price range from $1.5 million up to $3 million that has experienced the largest increase.

It is unusual to see such large percentage increases and extremely unusual for them to occur during April.
