As your trusted Real Estate Advisor,

I make it a priority to stay fully informed and ahead of the market so you don’t have to. Whether you’re actively planning a move or simply keeping tabs on the market, I want to ensure you have access to the most relevant data and insights.

Last week marked the launch of Compass Intelligence Weekly, a new video series featuring Mike Simonsen, Compass’s Chief Economist. Mike delivers clear, data-driven updates on national housing trends using real-time insights we track here at Compass.

Now in the second week, I’m excited to keep the momentum going. Each week, I’ll post the latest Compass Intelligence video along with a few national insights that stand out—so you stay informed, empowered, and one step ahead.

Here are a few national insights that stood out:

  • Pending home sales rose 6% week-over-week and are 9% higher than the same week in 2024, continuing a 9-week streak of year-over-year growth.

  • Active inventory is up 27% compared to last year, but the pace of growth has slowed, indicating a more stable—though still elevated—supply environment.

  • New listing volume is nearly flat year-over-year, suggesting that fears of a flood of new supply driving prices down have not materialized.

  • Home prices remain just slightly above 2024 levels, but with high inventory and softening demand, price momentum is clearly trending downward.

  • Nearly 42% of homes on the market have had a price cut—the highest July rate in over a decade—underscoring how sensitive pricing is to elevated mortgage rates.

Have questions about what this means for your neighborhood or your home plans?
