The National Association of Realtors is reporting that existing home sales increased 0.2% in April, 2026 to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 4.02 million. Total housing inventory at the end of April was 1.47 million units, up 5.8% from March and up 1.4% from one year ago. Unsold inventory sits at a 4.4-month supply at the current sales rate. The median existing-home price for all housing types in April was $417,700 – the 34th consecutive month of year-over-year price increases. The NAR says inventory remains tight and consumers are taking their time:
“Inventory still remains tight…Multiple offers, though not as intense as a few years ago, are still occurring. At the same time, days on market are lengthening on average, implying that consumers are taking their time before making decisions.” Said the NAR’s Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun.
