Housing inventory surging across the US: Here are the 10 states leading the way
Nevada, Maryland, and North Carolina lead the way in year-over-year inventory growth.
'Nevada has seen a strong uptick in investor seller activity recently, which could be driving listings higher as buyer demand pulls back,' says Hannah Jones, senior economic research analyst for Realtor.com®.
Compared with the same time last year, Nevada has seen a 52.9% increase in the number of homes on the market—the biggest increase of any state. Maryland followed with a 48.2% increase in listings.
'North Carolina saw surging popularity during the pandemic, and is returning to some balance. Maryland has seen less extreme swings in prices and inventory, but is seeing inventory climb recently as buyer demand simmers.'
The inventory of homes for sale across the country in July 2025 rose 24.8% year over year—marking the 21st consecutive month of inventory growth and the third consecutive month with over 1 million active listings, according to Realtor.com data.
July's inventory reached a new post-pandemic high, though it still sits 13.4% below pre-pandemic levels. But while more homes are available nationwide, certain states are seeing the most dramatic shifts.

To identify the top 10 states where homes are piling up on the market the most, Realtor.com economists analyzed state-level listing data, ranked by active listing count year-over-year for July 2025.
Jones says these market changes come down to both buyer demand and broader economic factors.
'Lower home prices and mortgage rates will be important to bring buyers back into the market. As buyer demand returns, available inventory can supply home shoppers with desirable options,' says Jones. 'However, it will be important for supply to ramp up with demand to endure price growth doesn't pick up once again.'
Still, the data shows early signs of a shift. Overall new listings, while higher than last year, declined month over month for a third consecutive time. Homes are also taking longer to sell—a full week more than last July—pushing the national median time on the market above pre-pandemic norms for the first time since 2020, as per the Realtor.com July Housing Report.
Some markets are feeling the change more acutely than others.
'We have [an agent] transferring from the Aurora, Colorado, area right now,' Jeff Lichtenstein, the CEO of a family-owned brokerage in South Florida, told Realtor.com. 'The Colorado market is getting flooded with listings mainly due to massive appreciation, and now listings are overtaking how many buyers are available.
'The one transferring to Florida said it's so bad that he was forced to take a second job bartending despite having 10+ listings,' says Lichtenstein. 'South Florida saw our tipping point inventory increase a year ago. However, we are now seeing, on the ground, more activity because the amount of 'must sellers' is outweighing the 'must buyers.''
The affordability crunch remains one of the biggest hurdles for buyers nationwide. Since June 2019, the typical list price has jumped 37.6% while the price per square foot has surged nearly 52.3%.
'However, once the market turns, we should see homes go quickly because there still is a shortage. It's just that unaffordability is so great, with rates in the mid-6s and more inflation going on, that consumers just can't afford anything,' says Lichtenstein.
For now, buyers in states with the biggest inventory jumps may find more choices and less competition. But economists warn that unless prices and rates ease, many shoppers will remain sidelined.

The chemical industry's future is safer — and smarter
The chemical industry is evolving — and Chevron Phillips Chemical (CPChem) is helping shape what comes next. Through innovation, transparency and a deep commitment to safety, the company is proving that sustainability and innovation can go hand in hand. "The chemical industry of today is not the industry of our grandfathers," says Steve Prusak, president and CEO of CPChem. "We've come a long way in terms of the safety, the environmental stewardship of how we run our facilities." How it's done: CPChem, an American Chemistry Council (ACC) member company, participates in Responsible Care® — an industry commitment and leading performance program to advance the health and safety of employees, communities and the environment. "The program is intended to share best practices across the industry with an intent that all of us are continually improving," says Prusak. The impact: At CPChem, safety isn't just a priority — it's a core value woven into every layer of the company's culture and operations. The company's incident rate has dropped tenfold over the past 25 years — from 1.0 to under 0.1. That's "best-in-class performance," according to Prusak. But CPChem is still working to improve its safety standards. In fact, recently released Responsible Care safety performance data shows record lows in transportation safety, process safety and worker safety rates. For more than a decade, Responsible Care companies have annually averaged less than one recordable injury or illness per 100 employees. This is better than major sectors including manufacturing, retail, agriculture, food stores and general merchandising. For the second year in a row, ACC members reported a record low total recordable injury and illness incidence rate (TRIR). Next steps: CPChem is focusing on the behavioral side of safety and how it impacts workers. "Why do they make the decision that they do, and what are things that we can put in place to make it easier for them to succeed and harder for them to fail?" says Prusak. Here's what else: CPChem also prioritizes authentic community engagement — a key part of its vision to be the neighbor of choice in the regions where it operates. "We engage with the local community to let them understand what it is that we're doing, how we're performing, what our operations are like," says Prusak. "But we're also soliciting feedback from them as to how that we can become an even better neighbor." An example: The Golden Triangle Polymers Project in Orange, Texas, illustrates that commitment in action. As part of the $8.5 billion joint venture with QatarEnergy, CPChem launched a local-first initiative to prioritize local hiring and procurement. So far, the company has spent over $300 million with local suppliers and brought more than 2,000 local contractors onto the project. The takeaway: CPChem is building more than facilities — it's building a safer, more sustainable future through innovation, accountability and care. With a focus on people, performance and community, the company is setting the standard for what modern chemical manufacturing can be. "Our culture is defined by performance by design and caring by choice," says Prusak.
