This CNBC headline should actually be “Sellers Learning to Meet the Market”.

Sellers are not pulling unsellable homes off the market – they’re pulling egos off the market. The 2021 Seller mindset has finally reconciled with the 2026 Buyer reality.

At the start of 2026, 45,000 homes that were delisted in 2025 came right back on the market in January. The highest January number in a DECADE, and more than 1/3 came back at a lower price.

2.5% of active listings nationwide for the month of April were actually RELISTINGS from Sellers who pulled their homes in the last 12 months, the highest since mid-2020.

So I just want to clarify that what we’re seeing, what I’m seeing nationally, is not Sellers disappearing. I’m seeing testing, regrouping, repricing, and re-listing.

Homes priced correctly and presented well are still moving. Homes that miss the mark are being exposed much faster than they would have been even a year or two ago. Many of the homes seeing the strongest activity right now are not necessarily the “perfect” homes - they are the homes where Buyers feel the pricing reflects current market realities. That distinction matters enormously in today’s environment.

It’s not a crash. It is real estate.

Frustrated sellers are pulling their homes off the market at an increasingly high pace, as demand weakens and bidding wars wane.

Most people think sales is just closing deals and making money.

But in reality, sales is much deeper than that.

Sales is listening carefully to understand real needs.
Sales is solving problems, not pushing products.
Sales is guiding clients to the right decision, not the fastest one.
Sales is building trust and creating long-term relationships.
Sales is providing value before asking for business.

When you focus on helping instead of selling,
people don’t feel like they are being sold to —
they feel like they are being helped. And that’s when real sales happen.

The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady at 3.5% to 3.75% in its January 2026 meeting, as widely expected.
This decision follows three consecutive rate cuts at the end of 2025 and reflects a wait-and-see approach amid solid economic growth, somewhat elevated inflation, and a stabilizing job market.

Although the Fed’s move doesn’t directly set mortgage rates, it influences borrowing costs. Economists note some positive signs for housing despite the pause:

* Mortgage rates are nearly a full percentage point lower than they were a year ago, dropping from around 6.9% to about 6.24% for a 30-year fixed loan.

* Homebuyer activity remains strong: Purchase applications were up 18% compared to last year, signaling sustained demand.

* Experts like Rocket Mortgage’s Bill Banfield suggest that Buyer confidence is growing due to this year-over-year improvement, even without immediate rate cuts.
