Real estate in October brought more inventory growth, a slower market pace, steady median listing prices and an increase in properties with price reductions across the nation.

Overall, October marked the 24th consecutive month of inventory growth, with the number of homes listed for sale nationwide exceeding one million for the sixth month in a row, according to Realtor.com's Monthly Housing Market Trends Report . Active listings were also up 15.3% year-over-year, but remained 13.2% below pre-pandemic levels.

The number of new listings also increased by 5.1% year-over-year. While this number remains 19% below 2025's peak in April, the pace of decline has slowed since August. Listings also typically spent about 63 days on the market in October, five more days than this time last year.
