How to read it
New listings against contracts is a quick read on whether supply is building or being absorbed. It moves week to week and by price band, so treat it as a snapshot, not a trend. A Montgomery County average is a starting point, not a verdict on any one property, and the right move depends on your timeline, finances and the home itself.

Common follow-up questions
What does under contract mean?

Why do the 7-day and 30-day numbers differ so much?
They cover different windows; a week can be unusually busy or slow, so the 30-day view is steadier.
