Nationwide, 5.8% of all U.S. home listings were taken off the market in April. That’s tied with December 2025 for the highest share since March 2020, when the onset of the pandemic ground the housing market to a halt and spooked sellers. Prior to 2020, delistings were never as common as they are now.

 

Delistings rose 3.8% month over month on a seasonally adjusted basis, the second straight month in which they have increased.
