April 2026 Snapshot vs. April 2025 (Single Family Homes)

The market is still competitive, but it’s becoming more selective.


Here’s the simple version of what matters:

  • Homes are selling faster (average days on market dropped from 34 days to 22 days.)
  • Buyers are still competing (homes sold for an average of 108.67% of asking price.)
  • Inventory has improved slightly (more homes are available compared to last year, but supply is still relatively low overall.)
  • Prices softened somewhat

    Average and median sales prices came down compared to April 2025, likely reflecting a more cautious luxury market and increased buyer sensitivity to pricing.


What Sellers Need to Know

The market still rewards:

  • strong pricing
  • great presentation
  • smart marketing

Turnkey, well-positioned homes are still moving quickly and attracting competition.

But overpricing has become riskier. Buyers are more selective now, especially at higher price points. The homes sitting are often the ones that missed the market on price from the beginning.


What Buyers Need to Know

This is not a “buyer’s market,” but there is more opportunity than there was last year. The best homes still move quickly, but buyers are starting to find leverage on:

  • overpriced listings
  • homes with price reductions
  • properties sitting longer than expected

In today’s market, preparation still matters. But savvy buyers who recognize hidden value may finally have a few more openings than they did during peak frenzy conditions.


Bottom Line

This is still a seller-leaning market, but no longer a market where every home automatically sells instantly at any price.

Strategy matters more now for both buyers and sellers.
