RE/MAX Holdings Inc. released its National Housing Report for October 2025, highlighting encouraging trends in the residential real estate market. Home sales across 51 surveyed metro areas rose 3.2% year over year and 1.7% month over month, defying typical seasonal slowdowns. The median sales price increased 2.2% from the previous year to $445,000, matching the median listing price of new homes. Inventory was up 15.9% compared to last year, providing buyers with more options, though homes took an average of 50 days to sell-an increase from 43 days a year ago. Notably, markets such as Burlington, Vermont, Tampa, Florida, and Manchester, New Hampshire saw significant growth in new listings and closed transactions, with Burlington experiencing a 21.6% rise in new listings and a 27.5% jump in sales year over year. The report suggests the market is adjusting to longer selling times but remains active, with both buyers and sellers benefiting from healthier negotiations.
