Curious about when the market might tip in favor of buyers? According to recent projections, the week of September 27 to October 3, 2026, is shaping up to offer a unique window of opportunity. During this period, active listings could climb by 31.9% compared to the start of the year, and be 13.3% higher than an average week—meaning more homes to choose from nationwide. Listing prices are expected to be about 3.5% below their seasonal high, which could translate to approximately $14,000 in savings on a median-priced US home (around $416,000). With competition forecasted to be 30.1% lower than the annual peak and homes spending an average of 64 days on the market, buyers may find they have more negotiating power and time to make thoughtful decisions.
