February 2026
We’re still off a strong start so far in 2026! Sold homes were up 48% this past month compared to February 2025. Many of these sales were in the luxury listing sector, which pushed Dollar Volume to see a 104% increase over 2025. New Listings and Active Inventory remain lower than last year, and New Pending Sales saw a slight dip. Average Days on Market for homes sold in February was 117 days, compared to 92 days in 2025.
Year to Date – January-February 2026
Looking at the year as a whole, the residential market has seen great improvement over the same time period last year. Total Homes Sold increased 32%, with 58 selling so far in 2026. Dollar Volume increased 89% over 2025, coming in at $44M at the end of February. A trend we’ve seen changing over the past few years, Average Days on Market continues to increase as we see a more even spread. While 31% of homes sold in 30 days or less, the same amount of homes sold in 180+ days.
Buyers
With spring just around the corner, new listings will begin hitting the market. March has already seen a large increase in new listings, with 20+ in the past 7 days. If you’re planning to purchase in the next 6 months, getting connected with your REALTOR now will make sure you’re in the right place when the perfect property hits the market. Many homes also ‘come off’ market during the winter months to reset their days on market. Your Railey agent would have the inside scoop for dozens of homes currently listed in-house that aren’t publicly being advertised. Getting connected with your agent early also means they can virtually show you property or view on your behalf in the event a property hits the market and has high interest – They’ll know exactly what you’re looking for!
Sellers
With active inventory and new listings down last month, there’s an opening to list your property now and get ahead of the surge in April and May. Buyers who have been looking over the past year will be eager to find a home to enjoy before summer hits. Curious how to make sure your property stands out? That’s what our agents do best! Using a comprehensive listing plan, your home gets positioned in the best possible way to make the biggest impact when it first hits the market. Sometimes you only get one chance for a first impression before your property gets passed over!
