In April 2026, new home listings in the U.S. increased by 2.1% year-over-year, surpassing home sales which slightly declined by 0.4%. This marks the first time this year that supply growth outpaced sales, leading to a 3.7% rise in active inventory to 1.3 million homes. Despite a recent rise in mortgage rates, monthly payments fell 3.4% compared to last year, improving affordability. Homes are selling more slowly, with typical listings pending in 17 days, indicating a more cautious buyer market. If mortgage rates drop back to around 6%, a quick market rebound is possible, offering buyers more choices and better terms than last year.
