Inventory is down across the Medium buy box, but the pace is not the same everywhere

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 1,120 homes for sale across the Medium buy box in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 21.2% from the same months of 2025. Nationally, Realtor.com reported active listings topped 1.16 million in September 2026. The national picture and the local one are pointing in opposite directions.

But even inside the Medium buy box, the story splits. One ZIP has 3.5 months of supply. Another has 7.1 months. That gap changes what a seller can ask and how long a buyer should expect to wait.

How each ZIP stacks up

33328 Fort Lauderdale: the tightest supply in the group

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 3.5 months of supply in ZIP 33328, down 1.9 months from the same period last year. That is the lowest in the Medium buy box. Homes sold in 56 days at the median, 24 days faster than a year ago. The median sale price rose to $654,000, up 7.9% year over year. More than 1 in 4 homes, exactly 26.6%, went under contract within two weeks of listing, up 13.2 points from 2025.

33024 Hollywood: more sales, faster contracts

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 208 homes sold in ZIP 33024, up 17.5% from the same months of 2025. That is the strongest sales growth in the group. Supply sits at 3.9 months, down 2.2 months from last year. The median sale price dipped a little, down 1% to $489,950. Still, 22.3% of homes went under contract within two weeks, up 11.4 points from a year ago. Sellers here are getting 97.6% of list price on average.

33027 Hollywood: more room, slower pace

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 5.8 months of supply in ZIP 33027, down 1.2 months from a year ago. Progress, but still more breathing room for buyers than the other ZIPs. Homes sat on the market a median of 92 days, unchanged from last year. The median sale price fell 15.8% to $389,500. Fewer homes sold too, down 7.7% year over year. Sellers here are getting 96.1% of list price on average, down 0.4 points.

33025 Hollywood: the most supply, the softest price

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 7.1 months of supply in ZIP 33025, the highest in the group. That is nearly unchanged from a year ago, up just 0.1 months. The median sale price fell 12.2% to $360,000. Homes took a median of 91 days to sell, 10 days longer than the same period last year. Pending sales dropped 16% year over year. Not every home is moving fast here, and pricing matters more when supply is this high.

Supply by ZIP: the full range

The wider picture

Nationally, Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. Realtor.com also reported that 20.8% of listings nationally took a price cut in September 2026, the highest share since October 2022. The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Those national signals matter, but they do not tell you what your ZIP code is doing.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 680 homes sold across the full Medium buy box in the three months ending August 31, 2026, up just 1.3% from the same period last year. Sales are holding, but pending sales across the group fell 3.5% year over year, to 693. New listings dropped 2.6% to 903. The pipeline is a little thinner than it was.
