Inventory Continues to Grow as Seasonal Slowdown Hits New Listings and Home Sales 

DENVER, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- November brought the expected seasonal cooling to the U.S. housing market, with fewer new listings and home sales compared to October as inventory levels remained elevated. Although the supply of homes declined 5.5% from October, it was still 14.5% higher than a year ago, marking the 23^rd consecutive month of year-over-year inventory increases, a streak that dates to January 2024.

Across the 51 metro areas surveyed, new listings dropped 30.7% month over month, marking the largest decline among key metrics. Year-over-year, new listings fell 8.3%.

Buyers closed on 18.5% fewer home sales from October to November and 4.7% less than in November 2024, reflecting typical seasonal patterns.  

November's Median Sales Price of $438,000 posted a 1.7% year-over-year gain, continuing a 29-month growth streak that began in July 2023. Prices eased 1.5% from October.

"While some numbers reflect the typical seasonal slowdown, others point to encouraging trends," said REMAX CEO Erik Carlson. "Inventory has continued to grow as prices have remained steady, pointing to a resilient market for both buyers and sellers. As the market continues to adjust heading into the new year, there's plenty of opportunity to make a smart move, especially with guidance from a trusted REMAX agent."  

Other metrics of note:

• Homes took an additional week to sell and averaged 54 days on market. That's up from 47 days in November 2024 and 50 days in October.
• Months' Supply of Inventory increased to 3.3 months, up from 2.9 months a year ago and 3.0 months in October.
• Sellers received 98% of asking price, down slightly from 99% last year but unchanged month over month.

One notable shift came in Seattle, a market that typically ranks among the highest in median sales price but saw its largest monthly price drop of the year, declining 5.4% from $740,000 in October to $700,000 in November. John Manning, local Broker/Owner of REMAX Gateway, says several factors may be contributing to the cooling trend.

"Seattle has enjoyed decades of incredible growth driven by Washington State's appeal to a diverse mix of industries. More recently, shifts in tax policy appear to be influencing corporate decisions about where to allocate resources, which may be contributing to cooling home prices. We're also seeing signs of wealth relocation, as higher estate taxes prompt some higher-net-worth residents, particularly seniors, to consider relocating later in life. At the same time, changes in the tech sector driven by artificial intelligence are reshaping hiring patterns that once fueled an influx of younger tech workers into the Seattle area."

Report Details
The REMAX National Housing Report is distributed monthly on or about the 15th. The Report is based on MLS data for the stated month in 51 metropolitan areas, includes single-family residential property types, and is not annualized. For maximum representation, most of the largest metro areas in the country are represented, and an attempt is made to include at least one metro area in almost every state. Metro areas are defined by the Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.

Definitions
Closed Transactions are the total number of closed residential transactions during the given month. Months' Supply of Inventory is the total number of residential properties listed for sale at the end of the month (current inventory) divided by the number of sales contracts signed (pending listings) during the month. Where "pending" data is unavailable, an inferred pending status is calculated using closed transactions. Days on Market is the average number of days that pass from the time a property is listed until the property goes under contract. Median Sales Price for a metro area is the median sales price for closed transactions in that metro area.  The nationwide Median Sales Price is calculated at the nationwide aggregate level using all sale prices from the included metro areas.  The Close-to-List Price Ratio is the average value of the sales price divided by the list price for each closed transaction.
