Redfin (RKT) launched Redfin Early Access, a search category featuring homes not listed on other major real estate sites, including exclusive pre‑market listings from Compass brands. The program lets sellers test pricing and demand without accruing days on market, while buyers gain early access to thousands of homes.
A Redfin survey of 1,000 U.S. homeowners found 83% of prospective sellers are interested in a “coming soon” approach, and a Redfin analysis estimates that more flexible premarketing could increase housing inventory by up to 12%.
Redfin, powered by Rocket (NYSE:RKT), reports U.S. pending home sales rose 9.6% year over year for the four weeks ending May 10, 2026, the highest level since September 2022. Strengthening demand is lifting prices as the median sale price reached $397,740, up 2.2%.
Mortgage-purchase applications increased 7% year over year, while new listings declined 1.6%, tightening supply to 3.5 months. According to Redfin, improving job conditions, seasonal factors and earlier rate declines are drawing more buyers into a market where seller leverage is gradually improving.
Rocket Companies (NYSE:RKT) announced that CEO Varun Krishna will join a fireside chat at the 54th annual JP Morgan Global Technology, Media, and Communications Conference.
The session is scheduled for May 19, 2026, at 1:35 p.m. ET, with a live webcast and replay on the Investor Relations website.
Rocket Mortgage (NYSE:RKT) reported new data showing major awareness gaps that limit VA loan use among eligible service members. Only 48% consider a VA loan, 54% know no down payment is required, and 39% know VA loans do not require PMI, despite notable documented savings.
A new housing market analysis shows the U.S. remains a buyer’s market, but buyer leverage is shrinking. In April, there were an estimated 46.5% more sellers than buyers, down from 48.9% in December 2025, as strengthening employment encourages more buyers to return.
Estimated buyers rose to 1 million in April, up 2% month over month, while sellers reached 1.5 million, up 1.3%. Among 49 major metros, 34 are buyer’s markets and 7 are seller’s markets, led by Miami on the buyer side and Nassau County, NY on the seller side. An updated data methodology now aggregates directly across 3,000+ counties and will be published earlier each month.
Redfin reported the median U.S. home sale price reached $396,173 in April 2026, up 2.4% year over year, the biggest increase since March 2025. Pending home sales hit their highest level since February 2023, while active listings reached the highest level since March 2020.
New listings rose, homes sold slightly faster month over month, and the share of properties selling below list price declined again, though most still closed under asking. Redfin also introduced an updated data methodology, aggregating housing data directly across 3,000+ counties.
Redfin (NYSE:RKT) surveyed 1,005 U.S. residents about sunlight, home size and satisfaction. About 44% prefer a smaller, sunnier home to a larger, dimmer one, while 24% prefer more space with less light. Around 1 in 10 call sunlight a “non-negotiable” feature.
Roughly four in five say sunlight is at least somewhat important, and most report it affects how satisfied they feel at home. Residents in sunnier homes are far more likely to be satisfied (77%) than those without much sun (47%). Redfin highlights its Sunscore tool on Redfin.com to help buyers assess natural light.
Redfin (RKT) launched Sunscore, a 0–100 property-level rating that shows how much natural sunlight a home receives. Co-developed in an exclusive U.S. partnership with Shadowmap, Sunscore uses 3D geometry and shadow analysis to model sunlight across seasons.
Sunscore appears on all for-sale homes on Redfin.com, with iPhone and Android app integration planned later this year. Redfin notes sunlight affects satisfaction for nearly 70% of people and informs solar potential, complementing its climate data, Walk Score, and conversational AI home search.
