2026 Market Outlook
Heading into Q1 2026, the "Inventory Vacuum" remains the dominant force. With zero new residential listings added in late 2025[cite: 408, 935], buyers are aggressively monitoring for early spring arrivals.
"Depending on the severity of the winter, we may see new inventory in February... We expect prices to remain strong, and to see a healthy market continue this year."
