Q2 2026 Buy-Side Index Reveals Sharp Price Divergence Across U.S. State Markets
The Q2 2026 Quarterly Buy-Side Performance Index highlights growing price divergence across the United States, with New York home prices rising sharply while several other states saw declines. In contrast to a broadly tightening market in Q1 2026, this quarter shows divergent trends: median sale prices rose by 7.4% year-over-year in New York but fell in Vermont (-2.0%), Oregon (-1.4%), and Washington (-1.3%). Supply conditions also varied significantly—Connecticut had the tightest market at 2.2 months of supply, while Hawaii remained buyer-favorable with over six months. The index ranks top buyers' agents by transaction volume across all 50 states for Q2 2026 and is produced jointly by Agent Pronto and CINC under Fidelity National Financial. It reveals geographic concentration in high-volume areas like Park City, Utah (zip code 84098), which had the highest single-zip contribution of top-25 transactions. Christopher Marti from Texas closed a record-breaking 119 transactions during the quarter. The report underscores how consistent quarterly data can help real estate professionals benchmark performance and make informed decisions, with Q3 already underway.
