44% of U.S. Real Estate Agents Report Balanced Market in Q2, Up from 30% Last Year

According to CNBC Housing Market Survey, 44% of real estate agents surveyed in the second quarter of 2026 reported seeing a balanced market between buyers and sellers, up from 30% in the third quarter of 2025. The shift marks a significant rebalancing after years of a seller-dominated market. Asking prices declined 2.5% year-over-year in June, the largest annual drop since tracking began in 2017. Agents report fewer price negotiations and more realistic seller pricing. Mortgage rates and prices have overtaken economic concerns as buyers' primary worries, with 37% citing mortgage rates as the main concern, up from 26% at the end of 2025. The survey collected responses from 53 agents between June 23-30.
