A report said April 12-18 should be 2026’s top listing window, balancing price, demand, and speed.
With mortgage rates in the low-6% range and near 4-yr lows, sidelined buyers were expected to return.
Mid-April typically brings +16.7% listing views and ~17% faster sales, about 9 days quicker than normal.
Seller advantages cited: prices +1.3%, fewer price cuts ↓18.9%, and inventory still ↓16.8% vs 2017–2019.
The report warned late June can mean near-peak prices but +38.4% more new sellers, raising competition risk.
