Sellers were asking a median of $397K in Jul 2026, down 4.2% 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 3.2% above the closing median. Competition is measurable in the closings themselves: 15% 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.
