How Long Are Homes Spending on the Market Before Selling Across the U.S.?
The busy spring housing market is underway across the U.S., made clear by a March-to-April uptick of home sales, new listings, sales prices and more. A downtick in the number of days homes are spending for sale is an indicator of market momentum, too. In April, homes nationwide spent an average of 40 days on market before selling – four days quicker than March and six days quicker than February. This is according to the latest REMAX National Housing Report, which aggregated data from 51 metro areas across the country for a clear picture of current real estate trends. The report underscores how market activity varies greatly by location. Here’s a closer look at places where homes sold quicker, and places where homes sold slower, according to REMAX data from April: 3 cities with the lowest days on marketWashington, D.C.

As spring blooms across the U.S., the country’s housing market continues to bustle. In April 2025, home sales were up 11.3% from March, according to the latest REMAX National Housing Report. The brand’s market analysis aggregated data from 51 metro areas for a comprehensive overview of current real estate trends. The REMAX report showed momentum in other housing metrics as well. In April, new listings increased 6.2% from March and increased 7.5% from the year prior. Overall housing inventory – the total number of homes for sale, inclusive of new listings and those carrying over from previous months – grew 7% from March to April, and grew a whopping 35.7% from April 2024. “April’s housing market showed some encouraging growth, with home sales increasing and days on market decreasing compared to March. The uptick in closings was a welcome development,” says Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. “For-sale inventory increased, with plenty of sellers ready to meet demand. However, we still need to see more buyers entering the market.” [embed]https://youtube.com/watch?v=7UQ9sCxspVw&si=oRzjiAe_D6KNZljy[/embed] An influx of inventory is welcome news for buyers seeking more options in their home search. However, Carlson pointed out, this market has bright spots for sellers, too. In April, homes for sale across the U.S. were spending an average of 40 days on market before selling – four days faster than in March and 11 days faster than in February. Plus, the median sales price increased by $5,000 from March, landing at $440,000. This is $10,000 higher than April 2024. Three markets in the REMAX report saw particularly noteworthy median sales price jumps in April: Cleveland, Ohio: median sales price of $244,000 – a 10.9% increase year-over-year Hartford, Connecticut: median sales price of $375,000 – a 10.3% increase year-over-year Birmingham, Alabama: median sales price of $315,000 – a 9% increase year-over-year On the flip side, some cities surveyed in the REMAX report saw annual decreases in median sales price, like Bozeman, Montana; Honolulu, Hawaii; and Tampa, Florida. Housing market conditions often vary greatly place by place, underscoring the value of working with an experienced local real estate professional when it’s time to buy or sell a home.

Read More....3 Things to Know When Selling a Home This Spring
Spring is the season of new beginnings. And that’s especially true for the many people who sell their home during this time of year. Ready to enter the market this spring? keep these three things in mind: 1. Data shows bustling market activityFrom February to March, home sales were up 23% across the U.S., according to the latest REMAX National Housing Report which surveyed the real estate trends of 50 U.S. metro areas. The nationwide median sales price in March – $435,000 – was $8,000 higher than one month earlier, too. Also of note: In that same time frame, new listings jumped up 29.8% and total housing inventory – the overall number of homes for sale – grew 8%. The findings show both supply and demand seeing momentum on a countrywide scale as spring rolls along. 2. Spring curb appeal is criticalCurb appeal is an important factor of selling a home any time of year – after all, the outside of your place is often where people form their first impressions, whether in online listing photos or an in-person tour. During the spring, however, there’s more opportunity to spruce up the home’s outdoor space and get creative. Make sure to prioritize curb appeal when selling this spring. For a clean appearance, mow the lawn, trim any overgrown shrubs or trees, remove weeds beginning to sprout (especially from walkway areas), get rid of any debris – like sticks and leaves – that are lingering from previous seasons, apply fresh mulch to plant beds, clear the gutters, and sweep the front porch and steps. If grass is mainstay outside your home, support its growth and health by getting back on a routine watering schedule and overseeding to promote fullness. Other exterior upgrades can make a big impact on prospective buyers, too. Powering washing the outside of the home and touching up any chipped paint will give it a fresh appearance. And consider adding flowerpots with bright blooms, a new welcome mat, upgraded porch lights, and even a refreshed address plaque. These swaps can help showcase the home as well cared for, and make visitors excited to step inside and see more. 3. A real estate agent can make all the differenceSelling a home is a significant milestone – and it’s best to not go it alone. A trusted real estate agent can bring robust skills, invaluable experience, innovative strategies and more to the table and help ensure a smooth sale. They’ll guide you through the process and go to bat on your behalf every step of the way. Good news: REMAX agents have more real estate sales experience than other agents, and they have the experience needed to get the job done in today’s market. Because of that, REMAX agents help hundreds of thousands of families buy or sell a home each year. If you’re looking to sell a home this spring, get in touch with a local REMAX agent today.

Read More....5 Eco-Friendly Ideas for a More Sustainable Home
Looking to go green at home? If you’re searching for ways to curate a more sustainable space, check out these five eco-friendly ideas: 1. Conduct an energy auditA home energy audit is an effective way to assess how energy is currently being used in your place, and determine how to optimize functionality in order to save on utility bills. When a professional conducts the audit, they’ll likely take a close look at things like the HVAC system, lighting, appliances, doors, windows, insulation, and more, and suggest efficient solutions to any issues that arise – like air leakage, which can be costly. 2. Implement smart home technologyAccording to the National Association of REALTORS®, 82% of homebuyers surveyed in their 2024 Profile of Homebuyers and Sellers report labeled potential heating and cooling costs as important considerations when purchasing a home. After conducting an energy audit and addressing any air leaks, you may decide to upgrade to a smart thermostat, which offers a more customized approach to heating and cooling a home. Many of these digital control systems allow you to customize a temperature schedule to help avoid wasting hot or cold air. They’re also often are paired with a smart phone app, allowing you to adjust your home’s temperature when you’re away. If you’re upgrading your fixtures with more energy-efficient lightbulbs, check out LED-powered smart bulbs with color-changing and hue-adjusting technology. These can typically be controlled by an app, too, for when you need to make adjustment on the go. 3. Learn local recycling rulesRecycling remains a great way to repurpose existing materials. But in order to make sure the items you dispose of – like cardboard boxes or glass jars – have a better chance of actually being recycled, it’s important to brush up on local rules and regulations, and heed them correctly. Visit your town, city or county’s government website for details pertaining to the recyclable items they accept, like how to empty them properly and what requirements are for sorting them. Other unwanted household items can be repurposed, too. Make an effort to donate gently used clothing, furniture, décor and more . Unopened, unexpired food items may be of use to a local food pantry. And check with the local animal shelter to see if they are in need of old sheets and towels, which can be used to make kennels more comfortable. 4. Add reusable items to your daily routinesCertain simple swaps around the house can limit the need for single-use products. Examples may include swapping paper towels for cloth options, plastic produce bags for mesh alternatives, or traditional grocery bags for reusable ones. 5. Xeriscape the yardXeriscaping is a lower-maintenance, artful landscaping design that requires significantly less water usage than a traditional lawn. It can be an especially helpful option for people who live in drier climates, or for those simply looking to diversify their outdoor space with a wider array of flora and fauna. If you’re ditching a traditional lawn, try implementing plants intended to thrive in xeric conditions, like cacti, succulents, ground plants and desert-dwelling flowers – and get creative with rocks to support these plants and fill space. Stop by a local gardening center and ask what greenery is native to your area. Some of these variants may be great choices for your xeriscaping journey – and they could also benefit members of the local ecosystem, like butterflies, pollinating bees and other essential bugs.

The start of spring 2025 was marked by a significant uptick in home selling activity across the U.S. From February to March, nationwide home sales increased a whopping 23%. That was a big takeaway from the latest RE/MAX National Housing Report, which surveyed the real estate trends of 50 metro areas. This edition of the monthly report found upward movement in several other housing metrics as well. [embed]https://youtube.com/watch?v=h4bOzP5zWB4&si=h9mDKtLlFuxusTjI[/embed] Curious about what’s happening in the market? RE/MAX is sharing these insights: New listings are contributing to growing inventoryHomebuyers entering the market this season are likely finding more options to choose from. March saw a 29.8% increase in new listings compared to the month prior, and nearly an 8% increase of the same metric compared to one year prior. These new listings contributed to the country’s growing inventory – the overall quantity of homes for sale, including listings rolling over from previous months. In March, total housing inventory was up 8% from February. Plus, inventory was 35.5% higher than March 2024. This elevated inventory is one contributing factor to the nationwide rise in home sales. Home prices are going upAcross the board, home prices appear to be on the rise, too. The median sales price in March was $435,000, nearly $8,000 higher than February and a significant $15,000 higher than March 2024. Like all market metrics, outcomes can vary greatly by location. For example, when it comes to median home sale prices, Burlington, Vermont, saw a 22.4% increase in March, whereas Honolulu, Hawaii, saw a 4.5% decrease in March. The pace of home sales is seeing momentumThe pace of sales is picking up this spring. The RE/MAX report for March found that homes across the U.S. were spending an average of 44 days on the market before selling, which is seven days shorter than in February. Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, says the current market has plenty of bright spots for prospective homebuyers and sellers. “As we enter the prime homebuying season, the uptick in sales and inventory may lead to even more positive market activity,” he says. “With a relatively good supply of homes for sale, and rates holding with signs of some improvement, many buyers are finding current market conditions to be the most favorable they’ve seen in the past few years.” When these buyers and sellers are ready to enter the spring or summer market, they’re wise to work with a trusted real estate professional – one who can leverage their experience and expertise to help ensure a smooth transaction.
