What This Market Means for Sellers
Inventory has increased compared to the final quarters of 2025, which means pricing strategy matters more than timing alone. Homes that enter the market priced correctly are still selling close to list price, while overpriced listings often require reductions.
Sellers planning a move in 2026 should focus on realistic pricing, preparation, and understanding how their home compares to current—not past—sales.
What This Market Means for Buyers
A 98% sold-to-list price ratio signals a more balanced environment than recent years. Buyers are no longer forced into rushed decisions and may find opportunities to negotiate, particularly on homes that have been on the market longer than the median.
With a strong selection of move-up homes currently available, early 2026 presents solid options for buyers prioritizing space, location, or long-term value.
