Inventory Growth Slowed Way Down. That Might Be Changing.

After 21 years in Katy & West Houston real estate, I keep a close eye on inventory trends because they shape every move buyers and sellers make. Lately, we've seen housing inventory growth slow—after a promising burst that gave buyers more choices. If this trend reverses and inventory starts picking up again, it could tilt the market in new ways. For those searching, when a home truly fits, it's wise to move with purpose. Sellers, on the other hand, need to price and present listings with a sharp eye on local competition. Every shift is an opportunity—especially when you know how to spot it and strategize for your next step.
