Rocket Companies Inc., through its Redfin real estate brokerage, has reported a significant rise in U.S. home delistings, with nearly 85,000 sellers pulling their homes off the market in September-a 28% increase from the previous year and the highest level for that month in eight years. The trend, which has seen delistings rise steadily since spring 2024 and peaking at a 39% year-over-year increase in June 2025, reflects sellers' reluctance to accept lower prices amid tepid buyer demand and rising mortgage rates. Many homeowners, especially those who secured ultra-low mortgage rates between 2020 and 2022, are choosing to rent out their properties or wait for a more favorable market rather than sell at a loss. The report also highlights that about one in five delisted homes are eventually re-listed. Metro areas such as Virginia Beach, Washington, D.C., San Jose, Dallas, and Houston have seen the largest year-over-year increases in delistings, while Miami leads in the share of listings pulled off the market.
