Sellers were asking a median of $375K in Jul 2026, essentially flat year over year (Realtor.com via FRED). Asking prices and closing prices never describe the same homes, so the gap between them reads as seller expectation rather than a discount available to buyers: in May 2026 the list median ran 8.7% above the closing median. Competition is measurable in the closings themselves: 3.0% settled above asking, and the average sale landed at 97% of its final list price. 39% of listings carried a price cut in May 2026.
