What it means for you
- Buyers: More choice and slightly lower sold-to-list ratios mean buyers can often negotiate on price, closing costs or repairs, especially for condos.
- Sellers: Expect buyers to compare your home with more active listings than last year. A realistic list price and a well-prepared home shorten the time on market.
Mortgage rates: the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average was 7.24% on October 29, 2026 (7.32% a week earlier and 6.17% a year earlier), according to Freddie Mac. Try the mortgage calculator with today’s rate.

Sources: NVAR September 2026 jurisdiction figures, as published by Alexandria Living Magazine (Oct 17, 2026); ALXnow, Oct 15, 2026 (MarketStats by ShowingTime, Bright MLS data; preliminary). Figures are as first reported and can be revised later. Days on market are averages unless noted.
