The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract has been fairly steady year-over-year. In February 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 42 days, compared to 42 days in February 2025. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be steady. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this March.
