housing supply
Homes on market
Housing supply is the total amount of available housing in a given area—homes, apartments, and other dwellings on the market or potentially entering it.
Economists and policymakers discuss housing supply when analyzing affordability and development: Increasing housing supply could ease the affordability crisis.
The term often appears alongside housing demand in debates about zoning, construction, and real estate markets.
