Market Data

New for-sale listings were 422,956 in May, down 4.1 percent from a year earlier and down 0.8 percent from April, according to Zillow’s May Market Report.

A recent analysis from ATTOM outlines the riskiest housing markets that were characterized by particularly high rates of unemployment and some of the worst foreclosure rates compared to the other counties included in the analysis.

Redfin’s latest report reveals that investor home purchases fell 6 percent year-over-year in the first quarter largely because elevated housing costs squeezed potential returns.

Total loan volume in the first quarter of 2026 reached $577.7 billion, down 12 percent quarterly, but up 15 percent year-over-year, according to ATTOM’s latest Residential Property Mortgage Origination Report.

The share of homebuyers paying in cash is declining because market conditions have shifted and due to widespread economic uncertainty, according to Redfin.

Foreclosure filings decreased by 8 percent in April but were still 18 percent higher than in April 2025, according to ATTOM’s latest U.S. Foreclosure Market Report.

Prices increased by 0.2 percent month-over-month in April, according to the Redfin Home Price Index.

ATTOM’s first-quarter report showed that the median single-family home and condo prices rose year-over-year in 44.6 percent of the census tracts analyzed in Opportunity Zones.

The negotiating power held by buyers may be past its peak, according to a new report from Redfin. There were an estimated 46.5 percent more home sellers than buyers in the housing market in April, down from 47.5 percent the month before and a high of 48.9 percent in December 2025.

The median home sale price rose 2.4 percent year-over year. The April jobs report showing stronger-than-expected hiring was likely a factor in fueling a pop in housing demand, according to Redfin.
