US Housing Recovery Pauses as Options Grow

In Mid-Q2, typical US home value reached $369K, with values ↑~1% MoM and yearly, keeping pricing broadly stable for buyers and sellers tracking affordability.
Sales reached 342K homes after ↑~5% MoM from Early-Q2, yet sat ~3% under yearly levels as mortgage rates firmed nationwide for shoppers.
Nationwide inventory totaled 1.36M homes, ↑~1% yearly and ↑~5% MoM; new listings hit 423K, ↓~1% MoM and ↓~4% yearly for fresh supply.
Competition stayed measured: median time to pending was 18 days, ↑1 day MoM and yearly; price-cut share was near 24% nationwide overall.
An economist said inventory could flatten within 4 weeks; a Late-Q2 options peak may signal slower 2026 second-half sales nationwide for buyers and sellers.
