(STACKER) – Seven months into 2026, the housing market is showing signs of unwinding from the pandemic-era frenzy that drained supply, pushed prices to record highs, and brought activity to a standstill. Buyers have more homes to choose from than they did at the start of the year, competition has balanced in a few slower markets, and price growth has remained relatively modest. Affordability is still a key issue and is limiting activity, though.

But not all markets are seeing the same trends. Some cities in the Midwest, Northeast, and Bay Area have become red-hot and much more expensive as buyers fight over a dwindling inventory. On the other end of the spectrum, many cities in the Sun Belt have cooled as buyers back off from previously overheated prices and climate risks, leaving listings sitting for months.

Let’s take a look at how the Springfield market is doing as we enter the second half of 2026. How have prices changed? How many homes are selling? Redfin Real Estate took a look at several metrics, such as median sale price, active listings, days on market, and more to help buyers and sellers navigate the housing market today.

Metro-level data is not seasonally adjusted and represents the average monthly median for January-June 2026. National-level data is seasonally adjusted except for median sale price.
