The Best Time to Buy a Home in 2026

Timing can be everything when it comes to buying a home, and recent projections for 2026 highlight a window that’s especially favorable for buyers: September 27 to October 3. During this period, national inventory is expected to be at its peak—up 31.9% from the start of the year and 13.3% above the typical week. This means more choices for buyers across the country. Listing prices are also projected to be 3.5% below their seasonal high, which translates to around $14,000 in potential savings on a median-priced US home of $416,000. Competition is expected to ease, with buyer activity down 30.1% from the yearly peak, and homes staying on the market for about 64 days, providing more breathing room for decision-making. This is the type of market backdrop our team watches for, so we can help clients take advantage of increased inventory and more flexible pricing. Our proprietary approach is built to seize these market shifts—making sure sellers, buyers, and investors get the upper hand when it matters most.
