That growth has slowed for the first time in five weeks, which suggests a more balanced environment for buyers is emerging\u2014though it\u2019s happening steadily, not suddenly. Homes are spending an average of 61 days on the market, which is unchanged from a year ago and right in line with late-Q3 seasonality. New listings dipped by around 1% year-over-year, bringing us back to 2025 levels as affordability concerns continue to influence both buyers and sellers. The median listing price now sits at $419,000, down about 1% from last year, and median price per square foot has softened to $222, the lowest since early 2026. With inventory building and mortgage rates still high, we\u2019re watching supply and demand tip further in buyers\u2019 favor\u2014but the pace remains measured, not rushed. Having guided clients through market cycles for over 20 years, I know that reading these subtle shifts can make all the difference when it comes to timing your next step.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#039;re seeing the U.S. housing market shift gradually, with active inventory up about 4% compared to last year.
