Top Signals

Four Data Points
Median List Price
$2M
Prices have been flat at $2M for 4 consecutive months (Mar–Jun 2026), down from $2.1M in Jan and $2.19M in Dec 2025. That's a -7.4% cooling from the Dec peak — a rare chance to buy before prices recover upward.
Days on Market
35 days
Median DOM jumped to 35 days in Jun from 28 days in Apr–May, and is up from 42 days YoY — homes are sitting longer than a year ago, giving you time to negotiate. Mean DOM has fallen sharply from 97 days in Jan to 58 days, signaling a pickup in pace.
Price Reductions
31% of listings
31% of active single-family listings have cut their price as of Jun 2026, up from 25% in Mar and roughly flat vs 33% a year ago. Nearly 1 in 3 sellers is negotiating — sharpen your offer below the original ask to capture immediate equity.
Market Action Index
48.49
The Market Action Index sits at 48.49 in Jun 2026, up sharply from 37.42 a year ago (+29.6% YoY) but dipping slightly from the 49.93 peak in May. Above 30 signals seller-side pressure — act now before this index tightens further and your leverage shrinks.
What This Means

Flat prices + motivated sellers = your window

List prices haven't moved in 4 months and 31% of sellers have already cut. You have negotiating room today that likely won't last — the action index is climbing fast toward a tighter market.

Honest Caveats

Inventory is still tight at just 1.47 months of supply — well under the 4-month buyer threshold. Competition remains real, and any uptick in demand could snap prices back up quickly, erasing today's modest negotiating leverage.
