Listings covering the whole country since 2016: housing supply.
Price reductions and price cuts
In September 2026, price cuts reached 20.8% of US listings, compared with 17.4% in September 2019 and 19.9% a year earlier. A high share means sellers ask more than buyers will pay and are coming down to meet them.

Where to read pending and existing home sales
Realtor.com includes listings under contract too: US homes pending in September 2026 came to 422,936, −4.1% on a year. For the sales figures, use the releases from official sources:
- Existing home sales: National Association of Realtors reports sales and prices for existing homes, condos and co-ops, covering the US plus four regions.
- Pending home sales index: the National Association of Realtors reports on signed contracts. NAR says they generally precede existing-home sales by one or two months.
- New residential sales: the U.S. Census Bureau reports sales of newly built homes.
How long houses stay on the market, on average
Realtor.com publishes days on market as a median, the middle listing, not an average. So a few listings that sit on the market for a year do not push the number up. For each September, here is the US figure from the start of Realtor.com's series:
