Active Listings shows how many units are currently advertised and available on the market for leasing. The metric covers all ongoing listings, whether for residential units, commercial spaces, or other rental objects. Once a listing is closed or a contract is signed, the unit is no longer counted as active.

Why is it important to follow?
This metric provides a snapshot of the supply actively marketed to potential tenants. It is central for analyzing the balance between vacancies and marketing efforts. A high number of active listings may indicate either elevated vacancy or an aggressive leasing strategy, while a low number may reflect strong occupancy or limited visibility. By tracking active listings over time, property companies can better understand market dynamics, allocate resources, and optimize the leasing process.
