U.S. Housing Market Sees Record Seller-Buyer Gap in February 2026
Redfin data shows home sellers outnumbered buyers by 46.3%, widening from 29.8% a year earlier and signaling stronger leverage for buyers.
Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by Redfin's official report, "There Are 630,000 More Home Sellers Than Buyers—the Biggest Gap on Record," which explicitly states that in February 2026 sellers outnumbered buyers by 46.3%, up from 29.8% a year earlier, and that this was the largest gap since its records began in 2013. The supplied X post at https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2046316344996471293 repeats the same figures and framing, indicating the social claim is an accurate summary of the Redfin report.
