This growth has slowed for the first time in five weeks, hinting at a shift that\u2019s becoming more favorable for buyers\u2014though without a sudden surge in available homes. Typical days on market held at 61, the same as last year, which aligns with the usual late-Q3 slowdown after a brisker start to 2026. New listings dipped about 1% compared to last year, bringing us close to 2025 levels as affordability challenges keep both buyers and sellers a bit cautious. The median listing price landed at $419K, about 1% lower than a year ago, and the price per square foot edged down to $222, its lowest since early Q1 2026. Even with inventory gains and higher mortgage rates, the market\u2019s pace remains measured, not dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who\u2019s guided clients through shifting markets across Middle Tennessee for over two decades, I know how important it is to interpret these trends for your next move\u2014whether you\u2019re buying, selling, or investing. Navigating real estate with a steady hand and a clear understanding of current dynamics is key to making the most of every opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re seeing the U.S. housing market continue its steady rebalancing, with active inventory up about 4% year-over-year nationwide.
