Redfin, Seattle, found 45,000 homes that were delisted in 2025 were relisted in January. That’s the highest number for January in records dating back to 2016.

Delistings hit a record high of 112,788 in December.

Also, a record 3.6% of homes that went on the market in January were relistings.

And, 36.1% of those were listed for less than their original list price–the highest January share in the records.

Redfin noted that last year was very much a buyer’s market, and many sellers opted to delist and try again later rather than sell their homes at a steep discount.

“Homebuyers are already scoring discounts because there are more homes for sale than people who want to buy them, and it’s possible those discounts will get bigger if relistings boost supply further,” said Redfin Senior Economist Asad Khan. “Some sellers will be more flexible on price when they relist since they’ve already been burned once. 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.”

San Jose, Calif., saw the highest number of relistings, with 257 homes delisted in 2025 put back on the market in 2026. That amounts to 12.5% of homes on the market in the city.

Next was San Francisco, with 11.4% of the stock having been relisted, Oakland, Calif., at 10.2%, Seattle, at 8.3%, and Denver, at 7.4%.

In Pittsburgh, just 132 homes that were delisted in 2025 were relisted in January–1.7% of the homes on the market. That’s followed by Milwaukee (2.2%), Montgomery County, Pa., (2.2%), Virginia Beach, Va., (2.3%) and Kansas City, Mo. (2.3%).
