In the second half of 2025, there was a notable jump in delistings, as some home sellers-particularly in the Sun Belt-who couldn't get their desired price decided to pull their homes off the market. Indeed, U.S. delistings as a share of inventory ticked up to 5.5% in fall 2025- a decade-high reading for that time of year."
"In December 2025, ResiClub noted to readers: "Looking ahead, in markets seeing the biggest jumps in delistings right now, many of those listings will likely return to the resale market in spring 2026-or test out the rental market." Fast-forward to January 2026, and we are indeed seeing an upswing in relistings, according to Compass chief economist Mike Simonsen's analysis of Altos Research data."
In the second half of 2025 delistings rose notably, especially in the Sun Belt, as sellers unable to reach desired prices withdrew listings. U.S. delistings reached 5.5% of inventory in fall 2025, a decade-high for that season. Markets with the largest delisting increases were expected to see many homes return to the resale market in spring 2026 or move into the rental market. By January 2026 relistings of single-family homes increased, based on Altos Research data analyzed by Compass chief economist Mike Simonsen. A relisted property is a home that had been listed, then taken off the market, and later put back up for sale.
