Around45,000 homesthat were delisted in 2025 wereback on the market in January- marking the highest relisting numbers since 2016 when Redfin began tracking.

Delistings soared in 2025 after sellers began to outnumber buyers, and decided to take their homes off the market to take another bite at the apple this spring. Overall delistings hit a record high of 112,788 in December, while relistingsthisyear represented 3.6% of all homes on the market.

"Many sellers who pulled their homes off the market last year are relisting now in hopes of capitalizing on spring homebuying season," Redfin Austin, Texas, agent Andrew Vallejo said in the report.

The company's senior economist, Asad Khan noted that while the spring is usually good when it comes to potential buyers,they may still be able to negotiate.

"Some sellers will be more flexible on price when they relist since they’ve already been burned once," said Asad, adding "Buyers shouldn’t be shy about asking for concessions. Even if the list price is high on paper, the seller may be open to negotiating."

Meanwhile,one-third of the homes reslisted in January came back on market at a reduced price.

"If you delisted your home last year after cutting the price from $550,000 to $525,000, don’t try to relist it now at $550,000,"Redfin Milwaukee, Wisconsin, agent W.J. Eulberg cautioned in the report.

"Buyers are savvy.They know how long your home has been on the market: how many times it has been delisted and relisted, and your original asking price."

As theEpoch Timesnotes further,with some of the priciest real estate in the country, it’s no surprise that Northern California’s Bay Area had the highest share of relistings.In San Jose, where the median single-family home price held at $1.26 in January, 257 delisted homes were back on the market in January. That number equates to 12.5 percent of homes on the market—the highest share among America’s 50 top U.S. metros.

San Francisco’s relisting market was at 11.4 percent,and Oakland’s at 10.2 percent.Seattle, Washington, and Denver, Colorado, listings accounted for 8.3 percent and 7.4 percent, respectively, of their total housing markets.
