Newly pending listings
Year-over-year change
Adrian’s take: Newly pending listings give an early signal of buyer activity. This comparison cannot establish whether mortgage rates, seasonality or other factors caused the change.
Source: Zillow Research public CSVs. Each line uses the same measure, home type and month. Year-over-year percentages compare markets of different sizes. Price-cut share and days-to-pending lines show levels instead. Zillow condo/co-op is not identical to the local association’s condo/townhouse category. Months of supply is reported separately.

New construction & builder intelligence
New-construction sales activity
Compare monthly new-home sales by metro area. Verify incentives and contract terms with each builder.
New-home sales across the metro area; these are not permits, starts or available inventory. Zillow changed its definition in August 2025. Figures may be revised.
Builder due-diligence checklist
- Deposit schedule and refundability
- Delivery window and extension rights
- Assignment or resale restrictions
- HOA, CDD, insurance and closing costs
- Preferred-lender credit versus total loan cost
- Warranty, inspection and punch-list rights
Pre-construction timing matters.Contract terms can differ substantially from standard resale contracts. Buyers should review the builder’s documents and obtain appropriate legal, lending and inspection guidance.
