Active inventory rose about 4% compared to last year, but for the first time in five weeks, that growth has slowed. This indicates the market is still leaning a bit more in favor of buyers\u2014though we\u2019re not seeing a dramatic boost in supply. Homes are spending an average of 61 days on the market, unchanged from a year ago and consistent with the late third-quarter seasonal cooling. New listings are down roughly 1% year-over-year, bringing us back to levels we saw in 2025, as both buyers and sellers weigh affordability and pricing decisions carefully. The median listing price is now $419,000 (down by about 1% from last year), and price per square foot has dipped to $222, the lowest since early 2026. These trends\u2014inventory gains paired with higher mortgage rates\u2014are gradually shifting supply and demand toward buyers, but overall, the market\u2019s pace remains steady rather than seeing any sudden shifts. With over three decades managing property transactions through all kinds of cycles, I\u2019ve found that clear communication helps clients chart the right course in times like these.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. housing market is finding its balance at a measured pace.
