America's Housing Market Looks More Balanced, Until You Look at Who Is Still Shopping

The share of online home-shopping traffic going to homes priced below $370,000 has fallen 11.4 percentage points since 2021, to 42.8% in 2026, according to a new Realtor.com® report. That decline has brought buyer interest almost in line with the 42.2% share of listings in that price range, creating the appearance of a more balanced housing market, but largely because many price-sensitive shoppers have been priced out and have stopped searching.
