What These Numbers Suggest
January’s price drop is a reflection of market timing
January’s lower median price likely reflects which homes sold, rather than a broad decline in home values in the area. With longer days on market for January 2026 sales, the data suggests that more carryover listings and homes that needed price adjustments were part of the closing mix.
February data shows the market snapping back
By February, prices have rebounded sharply and days-on-the-market dropped to just 6, pointing to a return to a highly competitive environment. This indicates that strong buyer demand is still there.
Inventory is driving the market
The most significant trend is the drop in new listings, which is keeping inventory tight. Limited supply continues to support price growth. This remains a supply-constrained market rather than one driven by a surge in buyers.
Demand remains seasonal and stable
New pending sales rose more than 30% from January to February, reflecting a typical seasonal pickup in buyer activity. While contract activity is slightly below last year’s levels, it remains in-line with recent historical trends, suggesting a stable demand environment.
Broader Context
February’s data suggests a market that is settling into a more typical seasonal rhythm after January’s slow start. Buyer activity is picking up as expected heading into spring, which tracks closely with recent years as opposed to signaling a meaningful shift in demand.
At the same time, the continued decline in new listings is shaping overall conditions more than buyer behavior. With inventory still limited, even steady demand is enough to keep competition elevated and prices supported.
Taken together, the market appears less volatile than the month-to-month swings might suggest. Recent fluctuations in pricing and activity are better understood as a function of timing and inventory flow, rather than a fundamental change in market direction.
As always, county-level data can mask neighborhood-level variation. Pricing trends and market pace can differ significantly by price point, property type, and community.
