Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working with buyers who’ve seen it firsthand:

One home gets 5 offers.

Below is a breakdown of how the market shifted and what these trends mean as we head toward 2026.

Inventory & Sales Activity

  • Month-to-month inventory: Down 13%, with fewer new listings entering…
