Summer Market Remains Choppy
Andy Schildhorn • August 14, 2026
After last week’s strong rebound, sales fell 29% to 211, while new listings increased 15% to 627. That combination gives buyers more choice and shows the summer market continues to move up and down from week to week.
Looking at the broader trend, buyers remain selective and price-conscious. The 5.4% gap between original list and sale price is right back in the range we’ve seen for much of the year. The message for sellers remains consistent: pricing and presentation matter.
