Quarterly Market Trends April 15, 2026

QUARTERLY REPORTS Q1 2026

The start of the 2026 real estate market saw an increase in new listings, creating more inventory for buyers, flat year-over-year price growth, and volatile interest rate fluctuations. As we finished Q1, prices began their seasonal uptick month-over-month, with pending sales also starting to rise. With more selection, the market is favoring well-prepared homes that are priced accurately.

Flat year-over-year price growth has helped affordability, but the latest rise in interest rates could moderate the month-over-month growth as we head into Q2. The rate of pending sales indicates that, despite rate volatility, buyers are still coming to the table. Seller equity remains high, with over half of all homeowners having at least 50% equity.
