Realtor.com (NWS) projects that the week of September 27–October 3, 2026 will be the best time to buy a home in 2026 based on historical patterns.
During this “Best Week,” buyers may see up to 31.9% more active listings than at the start of the year and listing prices about 3.5% below the seasonal peak, which could equal roughly $14,000 in savings on a median-priced home of about $416,000. Competition, measured by listing views per property, is historically 30.1% below its annual peak, and homes are expected to spend about 64 days on market, roughly 13 days longer than the year’s fastest pace. Around 5.7% of homes typically see price reductions, and fresh listings are historically 20.0% higher than at the start of the year.

Hilo-Kailua showed the widest gap between luxury and ultraluxury, with its top 1% threshold 6.2 times its local luxury entry level.

News Corp (NWS), via Realtor.com, released its 2026 Top Metros for New Construction ranking, naming Charleston–North Charleston, SC No. 1 among the 100 largest U.S. metros. Charleston’s median new-build listing price of $443,273 is 12.2% below its $504,832 existing-home median, with new construction representing 24.8% of listings.
Greenville–Anderson–Greer, SC and Boise, ID rank second and third. Six of the top 10 metros are in the Carolinas and eight are in the South. The methodology weighs new-construction share and price premium (33% each), climate-risk differences (17%), and market hotness measures (17%) using data from January 1–June 30, 2026.
Realtor.com (NWS) reports that in Q2 2026, 67.2% of views to new-construction listings came from shoppers outside the listing metro, higher than the 65.4% share for existing-home listings. Southern, relatively affordable markets led cross-metro interest, with Lakeland-Winter Haven, Fla., at 83.1%, followed by several other Florida and Carolinas metros.
The national median listing price for new homes was $450,256, essentially flat year over year (-0.1%), while existing-home prices fell 2.0% to $408,317, pushing the new-construction premium to 10.3%. Builders used price cuts more frequently than existing-home sellers (20.0% vs. 18.6%), and new-construction inventory rose 2.8% year over year, keeping new homes at 17.1% of active listings. New homes were slightly larger at a 2,050 square-foot median, with a lower price per square foot ($217) than existing homes ($222).
Realtor.com (owned by NWS) reports that in Q2 2026, 60.1% of home views from the 100 largest U.S. metros went to listings outside shoppers’ local markets, up from 48.2% in 2019 and 59.1% a year earlier, underscoring growing cross‑market housing demand.
Western metros were most outward‑looking, with nearly two‑thirds of views targeting other markets. Fourteen relatively low‑cost metros, led by St. Louis at 59.8% local views, retained more in‑metro shoppers while attracting interest from higher‑priced areas. In contrast, high‑cost markets such as San Jose (94.4% of views out‑of‑market, median price $1.39 million) and Los Angeles sent shoppers to more affordable nearby metros, while strong job centers like San Francisco, Nashville and Raleigh still drew demand despite higher prices.
News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS), via Realtor.com, released a new analysis on Aug. 19, 2026 showing a K-shaped U.S. housing market split by buyer financial strength. Since 2021, the share of online views for homes under $370,000 fell 11.4 percentage points to 42.8%, nearly matching their 42.2% share of listings as many price-sensitive shoppers left the market.
The national median list price in July 2026 was $428,950, 2.4% below a year earlier, while the median viewed price held at $425,000. Entry-level engagement is now below 2019 levels, inventory has shifted toward mid- and upper-tier homes, and Realtor.com finds an ongoing effective shortage of lower-priced properties.
News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS), via Realtor.com, reports that all-cash purchases accounted for 31.4% of U.S. home sales in the first four months of 2026, down from 32.3% a year earlier. Total home sales declined 8.5% year over year, while cash sales fell 11.2%, indicating cash buyers are retreating faster than the broader market.
According to Realtor.com, national median sale prices rose just 0.2% year over year, versus 1.8% in 2025 and a 15.4% peak in 2021. Cash activity remains concentrated at both ends of the market: over two-thirds of homes under $100,000 and more than 40% of homes above $1 million were bought with cash. States with the highest cash shares include Mississippi (47.2%) and Florida (41.3%), while metros such as Miami (43.2%), Houston (38.8%) and Kansas City (38.9%) lead among cities.
