In June 2026, the average close-to-list price ratio of all 47 metro areas in the report was 99%, the same as May 2026 and June 2025. The close-to-list price ratio is calculated by the average value of the sales price divided by the list price for each transaction. When the number is above 100%, the home closed for more than the list price. If it’s less than 100%, the home sold for less than the list price. The metro areas with the highest and lowest close-to-list price ratios were:
The average days on market for homes sold in June 2026 was 43 up one day compared to May 2026 (42 days) and up two days compared to the average in June 2025 (41 days).

June brought a stronger pace of home sales across the U.S., while inventory continued to rise at a measured rate. According to the June REMAX National Housing Report, home sales rose 8.9% from May and 7.8% from June 2025. Active inventory also increased, rising 5.0% month over month and 2.5% year over year. At the same time, new listings dipped 1.9% from May but were 2.4% higher than one year earlier, pointing to a market with more movement but not a dramatic shift in supply.
The June report suggests that buyers and sellers were both active as summer got underway. Median sales price was $460,000, up 2.4% from May and 2.2% from last June. Buyers paid an average of 99% of asking price, the same as May and a year ago. Months’ supply of inventory was 2.7, up from May but the same as in June 2025, reinforcing that while options improved in some metros, the market remained competitive in many others.
“June’s housing data points to a market with stronger momentum but not a broad supply reset,” said Chris Lim, REMAX President and Chief Growth Officer. “Sales picked up, inventory continued to expand and prices remained steady year over year. For consumers, that means local conditions still matter. In a market like this, timing, pricing and strategy can vary significantly from one area to the next, and that’s where guidance from a real estate professional can make a meaningful difference.”

The RE/MAX National Housing Report is distributed each month on or about the 15th. The first Report was distributed in August 2008. The Report is based on MLS data in approximately 53 metropolitan areas, includes all residential property types, and is not annualized. For maximum representation, many of the largest metro areas in the country are represented, and an attempt is made to include at least one metro from each state. Metro area definitions include the specific counties established by the U.S. Government’s Office of Management and Budget, with some exceptions.
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 (pended) during the month. Where “pended” data is unavailable, this calculation is made using closed transactions. Days on Market is the number of days that pass from the time a property is listed until the property goes under contract for all residential properties sold during the month. Median Sales Price is the median of the median sales prices in each of the metro areas included in the survey.
MLS data is provided by contracted data aggregators, RE/MAX brokerages and regional offices. While MLS data is believed to be accurate, it cannot be guaranteed. MLS data is constantly being updated, making any analysis a snapshot at a particular time. Every month the RE/MAX National Housing Report re-calculates the previous period’s data to ensure accuracy over time. All raw data remains the intellectual property of each local MLS organization.
