March 2026 spring market

March marks the official start of spring market season. Activity increases significantly.

March is when spring market truly begins. Inventory increases noticeably, and buyer traffic picks up substantially. Homes spend 16-20 days on market in competitive neighborhoods. Prices begin trending upward from winter lows. Competition increases for both buyers and sellers. For sellers, this is the time to list if you haven't already. For buyers, you need to be prepared with financing, clear preferences, and willingness to move quickly. The market transitions from balanced to favoring prepared sellers.
