More Inventory. Slower Sales. Smarter Strategy. What It Means for You.

January shows a Brentwood market that’s beginning to rebalance. Inventory has climbed, giving buyers more options, and homes are taking longer to sell as the pace cools and buyers become more selective.

While demand hasn’t disappeared, closed sales dropped sharply month over month, and properties are now spending an average of 83 days on the market — up from just 56 in December. Sale prices have dipped slightly, and most homes are now closing below list. For sellers, this means strategy matters more than ever — accurate pricing, strong presentation, and smart positioning are key to standing out. For buyers, this may be the most negotiable market we’ve seen in months, with more choices and less urgency to compete.

We’ve broken down the latest numbers so you can see exactly where the Brentwood market stands at the start of 2026 — and how these early shifts may impact your next move.
