Home Sales Rebound in February

US home sales bounced back in February, with the Boston area seeing an influx of relisted homes ahead of the spring market.

The National Association of Realtors reported a 3.1% increase in existing-home sales for February. This indicates a potential recovery after a period of slowed activity. Greater Boston saw an increase in the number of homes being relisted early in 2026. This could give prospective buyers more options as the spring buying season approaches. Rising inventory and lower mortgage rates may be contributing to the sales increase. These factors can significantly influence buyer behavior and market dynamics.
