In a nutshell
August was slow for sales, and inventory is picking up (still historically low though). The most interesting stat comparison is looking at Aug 2022 and Aug 2012. Both had around 40 sales, the difference is inventory level. Aug 2012 had almost 3x as much inventory level (622 compared to 213).
