Whether 2026 specifically is your year turns on your own timeline more than the market. With 1.63 months of supply, well-priced homes are moving, so a buyer who waits for a dramatic price drop may simply end up competing for the same house a few months later at a similar price.
Sales are running 6.6 percent above the 10-year average this month, which tells you demand has not cooled the way some national headlines suggest. A buyer with stable financing and a clear budget has little reason to sit out.
For a seller weighing whether to list into this activity, the same numbers cut the other way: steady demand and thin supply are a favourable backdrop to sell into.
