According to the February Monthly Indicator Report published by MLS Now, March 16, 2026.

"Despite improving affordability conditions, U.S. existing-home sales declined 8.4% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.91 million, a 4.4% drop from one year earlier, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). The slowdown followed a 5.1% increase the previous month and modest gains throughout the fall. Sales retreated month-overmonth and year-over year in all four regions.

New Listings decreased 10.2 percent for Single Family homes but increased 5.4 percent for Townhouse/Condo homes. Pending Sales decreased 14.0 percent for Single Family homes and 19.4 percent for Townhouse/Condo homes. Inventory increased 7.7 percent for Single Family homes but decreased 5.9 percent for Townhouse/Condo homes.

Median Sales Price increased 7.2 percent to $214,300 for Single Family homes but decreased 32.1 percent to $174,900 for Townhouse/Condo homes. Days on Market increased 13.7 percent for Single Family homes and 83.3 percent for Townhouse/Condo homes. Months Supply of Inventory increased 6.3 percent for Single Family homes but decreased 4.8 percent for Townhouse/Condo homes.

Nationally, the median existing-home price inched up 0.9% year-over-year to $396,800, a new high for the month, NAR reported. Home prices have continued to rise across much of the country, in part due to low supply, which remains below pre-pandemic levels. Total housing inventory stood at 1.22 million units as of the most recent reading, up 3.4% from one year earlier, representing a 3.7-month supply at the current sales pace."
