My read
38 new listings against 9 pendings and 10 closes means inventory is building faster than it's clearing — a renter-favoring signal. If you're considering listing, the $2,000–$2,499 zone is the most crowded (44 actives competing); price discipline and good photos matter more there than they do at the high end.
