📉 RI Single-Family Market Highlights for January 2026

Based on the latest data from the Rhode Island Association of REALTORS®, the 2026 market is starting with some significant shifts. While sales volume has hit a 15-year low, prices continue to climb, signaling a complex landscape for both buyers and sellers.

Here is a quick breakdown of the January 2026 stats for Anastasia Kaufman Realtor clients:

? RI Single-Family Market Highlights

Median Sales Price: Increased to $499,000, a 7.3% jump from last year.

Number of Sales: Dropped by 7.3%, with only 429 closings—a 15-year low for the start of the year.

Pending Sales: Hovering slightly up at 0.2%, showing that demand is still simmering despite low inventory.

Inventory: Remains a challenge, staying unchanged from December, which continues to put upward pressure on prices.

? The Takeaway

The “slow start” in volume is largely due to limited housing options, not a lack of interest. The multifamily market is currently showing the fastest signs of recovery with a 2.3-month supply of listings. If you’ve been waiting for “the right time,” navigating these inventory levels requires a proactive strategy.
