Something's shifting in the American housing market, and it's not subtle.

September saw 84,278 home delistings across the US—up 18,460 from last year, marking a 28% jump. That's the highest September figure we've seen since 2017. Sellers are pulling listings faster than they're being replaced.

What's driving this? Could be stubborn mortgage rates keeping buyers on the sidelines. Maybe sellers are tired of waiting for offers that never come. Or perhaps they're reading the same economic signals everyone else is—and deciding now's not the time to sell.

Either way, when this many homes vanish from the market in a single month, it's worth paying attention. Housing sentiment often leads broader economic shifts. And for those watching liquidity trends across traditional and digital assets, this kind of withdrawal rarely happens in isolation.
