SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (NASDAQ: RDFN) — Active listings—the total number of homes for sale—climbed to the highest level since 2020 in November on a seasonally adjusted basis, rising 0.5% month over month and 12.1% year over year. For all the talk of America’s housing shortage, one would think that’s great news. But the story is nuanced, according to a new from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

The high cost of moving, or paying rental brokers in cities like New York, has also discouraged renters from moving regularly. Nearly one ...
