April 2026 real estate market

April sees continued spring activity as we approach peak season in May.

April maintains strong spring momentum. Inventory is high, buyer traffic is strong, and competition is intense. Homes spend 12-16 days on market in desirable areas. Prices are 3-5% higher than winter months. Multiple offers are common on well-priced properties. For sellers, list now to capture maximum traffic before May peak. For buyers, you need to be decisive and prepared to move fast. The market is competitive but fair—good properties at fair prices still sell quickly.
