10 tips for purchasing a home in spring 2026

Make your offer more attractive when it's time to buy. Spring is traditionally the busiest season for buying a home. This year, there are signs in many areas pointing to a buyer's market.

Inventory of unsold existing homes increased 2.4% in February 2026 compared to January 2026, according to the National Association of Realtors' February 2026 existing-home sales report. It's up 4.9% from February 2025. Supply rose to 3.8 months in February 2026, unchanged from January but up from 3.6 months in February 2025.

Another sign is that 6 in 10 homes sell below their asking price, said Nadia Evangelou, senior economist and director of real estate research for the association. "Negotiations are back," she said. Homes are more affordable as incomes continue rising faster than home prices, Evangelou added.

Clients are talking ...

Dennis listened when I told him what kind of property I wanted and he found the perfect match and alerted me to it the day it went on the market. He then did a great job holding the deal together when the sale of my prior home was unexpectedly delayed by a month. I don't know that any other Realtor could have gotten it done.
