January 2026 Residential Market Snapshot

January’s housing numbers show a market that’s holding steady while continuing to adjust to shifting buyer and seller behavior. Active listings remained unchanged from last year, and average list prices were nearly identical—suggesting that sellers are pricing with confidence and the market is maintaining its footing.

Where we did see movement was in activity levels. Pending and closed sales were lower than in January 2025, reflecting a slower start to the year. Even so, the homes that did sell closed at a higher average sales price—$237,618 compared to $213,868 last year. That increase points to stronger values among the properties that made it to the finish line.

Days on market ticked up slightly, from 117 to 124, indicating buyers are taking a bit more time before making decisions. This is consistent with broader trends of cautious but steady demand.

Overall, January’s data paints a picture of a stable market with modest price growth and a slower pace of transactions. As we move further into 2026, we’ll continue watching how inventory, buyer activity, and pricing evolve.
