While the market remains active, it is no longer defined by the same level of frenzy seen in 2025. Key Market Statistics for April 2026: - Prices: The average sales price was $824,500 , representing a 5.0% decrease year-over-year from $868,000 in April 2025. - Inventory : Total homes for sale reached 892, a massive 90.2% increase compared to one year ago. This surge in inventory gives buyers significantly more "breathing room". - New Listings: There were 826 new listings in April, up 34.3% year-over-year , signaling that more homeowners are deciding to test the market. - Speed of Sales: Homes averaged 21 days on market . While this is faster than in March, it is 61.5% slower than the 13-day average seen in April 2025. - For Sellers: Success now depends on pricing correctly from day one and ensuring the home is well-presented, as buyers have many more options than they did last spring. - For Buyers: There is more selection and increased negotiating power regarding inspection items and seller credits, though the most desirable homes still move quickly. - Bottom Line: The market is flattening and stabilizing rather than collapsing, rewarding participants who take a realistic, data-driven approach.
