Weekly Housing Trends: U.S. Market Update
(Week Ending Jan. 24, 2026)

via realtor.com—January is generally a slow period in the housing market, but even accounting for seasonality, 2026 is off to a slow start. Despite mortgage rates hovering just above 6%, the inventory of homes for sale continuing to grow, and the pace of sales slowing, it appears that demand for homes has not yet picked up much steam. We project 2026 to be a buyer-friendly year, but the buyers have not yet taken notice.

This has resulted in a noticeable downturn in home prices on the market this week. The sellers who have not given in and removed their listings are eager to make a deal, and bargains can be found by buyers willing to search for them. The main culprit for this mismatch between buyer desire and buyer opportunity appears to be economic uncertainty. Affordability is improving due to lower rates, lower home prices, and growing incomes, but buyers remain cautious.

The opportunities for buyers are there: new listings and total inventory are up, homes are spending longer on the market, and price reductions remain elevated. The young year could be a prime time for buyers to make a move if they could only shake the hesitancy that pervades the market today.

Weekly housing trends highlights

New listings—a measure of sellers putting homes up for sale— rose 3.2% year over year

New listings increased compared to the same week last year, a welcome development for prospective buyers who see homes on the market spending significantly longer there. With mortgage rates holding near 6%, the lock-in effect that had kept sellers on the sidelines for years is beginning to fade, and we anticipate 2026 to be a year with plenty of fresh inventory of homes for sale.

Active inventory climbed 9.2% year over year

The number of homes for sale continues to run well above last year’s level, giving buyers more options than they had at this time in 2025. Inventory growth reflects both the rise in new listings and the slower pace of sales, as…READ MORE

The Current Miami Springs Market

DEMAND IS STILL THERE DESPITE HIGHER INTEREST RATES

There are forty-two (42) active listings in the MS/VG markets this week. High prices remain and demand is still slow, but there are still qualified buyers out there. More increases in inventory in the months ahead?? I think so... I do believe Miami Springs is transitioning into more expensive market. There are now 3 listings for over $2 million, and one for close to $4 million. Will they sell for those prices?? Time will tell.

Mortgage Interest rates have decreased. Rates expected to continue to 5.8-6% this year. There are still qualified buyers looking for the right property. Timing is everything. Days on the market (DOM) are on average 64 days. Some houses sell quickly. It all depends on pricing, condition and location, location, location. The decrease in interest rates should result in increased sales activities. It is important to price the property right.

Inventory Breakdown:

There is one (1) property priced between $500,000-$600,000; seven (7) properties are priced between $600,000-$700,000; nine (9) between $700,000-$800,000; two (2) between $800,000-$900,000; three (3) is priced between $900,000-$1,000,000; sixteen (16) between $1-2 million; three (3) are listed for over $2 million; and one (1) is listed for over $3million.
