The Quarterly Index: What Q2 2026 Reveals Across 50 State Markets

Every quarter, Agent Pronto/CINC ranks the top 25 buyer's agents and teams in all 50 states by total transaction volume. Q2 2026 is the second full edition of that index, and the picture it produces is less uniform than the first. In the same quarter that New York's median sale price grew 7.4% year over year, Vermont's fell 2.0%. In California, every agent and team in the top 25 carried a median above $1 million; in Louisiana, none did. These are not contradictions. They are what a national buy-side dataset reveals when it covers 50 states: not one market, but many, moving at different speeds in different directions.

The seller's market held almost everywhere, but the range widened

Most states ended June 2026 with months of supply below 4.0, a level that typically favors sellers over buyers, using 4 to 6 months as the balanced-market range. This is not a new finding; Q1 2026 showed the same. What Q2 deepens is the understanding of how differently parts of the country arrived at that outcome.

Connecticut ended Q2 2026 with months of supply near 2.2 across all three months, the tightest reading in the national dataset. Virginia held at 2.7 to 2.8 months throughout the quarter. Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Jersey all tracked below 3.5 months. In these markets, listings move fast and buyers and their agents often have less time to make decisions.

The other end of the spectrum tells a different story. Six states spent Q2 2026 in balanced territory, where months of supply runs between 4 and 6 months: Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah each held in this range throughout the quarter. They are states where buyers and sellers are negotiating closer to equilibrium. Hawaii operated above 6 months all quarter, the only state in the dataset where supply conditions remained consistently buyer-favorable. The national center of gravity held, but the distance from that center to each state's experience grew wider in Q2 than it was in Q1.

Top buy-side activity concentrates in ways the supply data does not show

The Q2 2026 dataset includes confirmed transaction addresses for the top 25 agents and teams in each state. That information produces a finding that supply and price data cannot: top buy-side activity in any given state is far more geographically concentrated than state-level aggregates suggest.

Park City, Utah's 84098 zip code contributed 10 confirmed transaction addresses to the state's Q2 top 25, the highest single-zip concentration in the national dataset. Virginia's McLean community contributed 10 confirmed entries across its two primary zip codes. Charleston, South Carolina's Historic District contributed 8. Ohio's New Albany contributed 8, including closings on adjacent lots where different agents transacted on neighboring properties in the same quarter. Tennessee's Brentwood contributed 8, with confirmed adjacent-address pairs on Southwick Drive and Heartwood Lane, where different agents closed homes at 1714 and 1716, and 1661 and 1665, in the same three-month period.

In Great Falls, Virginia, two different agents each closed a property on Georgetown Pike at addresses 9605 and 9607. In New Jersey, five separate agents confirmed closings in Spring Lake. In New York, five confirmed top-25 transaction addresses landed in Scarsdale. These are not national supply readings; they are the specific communities where buy-side volume concentrates, and the level of specificity that address-level transaction data makes possible.

The price map for Q2 2026 divided sharply

New York posted the strongest year-over-year price growth of any state in the Q2 dataset at 7.4%, finishing June 2026 at a $553K median. New Jersey and Pennsylvania both came in at 5.9%. Ohio reached 6.9% with a $279K median. Iowa grew 6.6%. These are markets where supply remained tight and prices continued to rise across the full quarter.

At the other end: Oregon finished June 2026 at 1.4% below the prior year. Vermont came in at 2.0% below. Washington at 1.3% below. Texas, the largest residential market in the dataset with over 180,000 active listings in June, came in at 0.2% below, essentially flat. Louisiana and New Mexico each posted price growth below 1.0%.

A broad pattern appears across the dataset: states with tighter supply generally ran stronger price growth. The states where inventory grew fastest, Vermont at 15.9% year over year, Washington at 10.9%, North Carolina at 10.0%, ran the weakest. Between Q1 and Q2, the directional story held nationally, but the spread between individual states widened substantially. Q2 confirmed what Q1 hinted at: national price figures are a composite of very different regional outcomes, and the state is the unit that makes the differences visible.

Days on market defined the operating environment

The median days on market for any given state tells a buyer's agent and team something price and supply data cannot: how quickly listings are moving through the market. Q2 2026 produced the widest DOM range in the dataset to date.

Virginia's median days on market held at exactly 37 days across all three months of Q2 2026, a perfectly stable and fast-absorbing reading. Rhode Island ran at 31 days. New Jersey improved to 41 days by June. At the other end, Montana held near 85 days, the slowest absorption pace in the national dataset. South Carolina ran near 77 days. Tennessee held at exactly 69 days across all three months, perfectly flat at a pace consistent with its balanced supply conditions.

North Carolina's 14-day year-over-year DOM extension was the largest increase in the dataset. Maine's 10-day improvement from the prior year was the largest decrease. The spread between the fastest and slowest absorbing markets is wider than any single national supply figure can capture, and it describes materially different operating conditions for the agents and teams working each one.

Volume at the top end

The Q2 2026 rankings cover the top 25 agents and teams by total dollar volume in all 50 states. Two facts stand out.

First, the volume at the high end. Christopher Marti in Texas closed 119 transactions in a single quarter, the highest closing count in the national Q2 dataset. Tiffany Williamson in North Carolina closed 115. William Gabbard in Ohio closed 111. Trina Montalbano in South Carolina closed 91. Texas and North Carolina are two of the five most active residential states in the country; these are not results from thin or niche markets.They represent sustained production at a rate of over one closed transaction per business day.

Second, the diversity of paths to the top 25 is wider than any single market's data can show. In California and Connecticut, every agent and team in the top 25 carried a median sale price above $1 million. In Louisiana, Ohio and West Virginia, none did. Both outcomes represent the top 25 buy-side producers in their respective states, and both representations are accurate. 

The second quarter in context

The Q1 2026 edition of this index was the first to cover all 50 states simultaneously. Q2 2026 is the second. Two quarters of data is still a short record, but it is long enough to observe direction and, now, divergence.

The states that loosened in Q2 2026 are identifiable. The states where prices declined are on the record. The states where absorption slowed are documented alongside the ones where it held fast. The agents and teams whose volume or transaction values defined the quarter are in the rankings. None of that was available with a single quarter of national data.

What the accumulating record shows is that the buy-side market is not one thing. Supply tightness in Connecticut does not describe supply conditions in Texas. A 119-closing quarter in Texas does not describe what production looks like in Wyoming, where a single closing at $1 million qualified for the top 25. A national briefing is where the patterns surface; the state reports are where the precision lives.
