The latest branch-level data for May 2026 paints a picture of a housing market splitting decisively in two. Sales stock per branch rose to 44 properties, its highest reading in several months, while the available rental pool per branch fell to just 12.09 — a contraction that will alarm tenants and delight landlords in equal measure. Compounding the picture, prospective buyer registrations dropped to 64 per branch, and a striking 84% of properties are now selling below their original asking price. Individually, each of these figures tells a story; together, they describe a market where sellers are losing pricing power even as renters face an increasingly scarce supply of homes.
