The headline number in Roy's June 2026 market is a median of just 4 days on market — down from 6 days in May and the fastest closing pace in the past year — yet that speed coexists with a meaningful pullback in buyer competition. The sale-to-list ratio fell to 98.22% in June, compared to 100.1% in May and 100.18% in June 2025, meaning sellers who collected full asking price or better last summer are now routinely accepting small discounts. Active inventory reached 151 homes, up from 115 in May and 42% above June 2025's 106 — the clearest sign that Roy's market has shifted ground even as the fastest closings are still happening almost instantly.
Market pulse
Days on market in Roy traced a striking arc over the past six months: 47 days in December 2025, easing to 33 days in January, ticking back to 37 days in February, then falling to 27 days in March, 22 days in April, 6 days in May, and now 4 days in June 2026. That compression in closing speed has not, however, translated into stronger pricing — the sale-to-list ratio moved in the opposite direction, from 100.1% in May to 98.22% in June, and 14 of 26 closings landed below asking price. Active inventory climbed from 96 homes in March to 104 in April, 115 in May, and 151 in June, while closed sales fell from 35 in May to 26 in June — a combination that gives buyers more options and less urgency than the raw days-on-market figure suggests. Nine of June's 26 closings involved a prior price reduction, a figure worth watching as inventory continues to build.
Mortgage context
The 30-year fixed rate reached 6.75% as of early July, up 0.125 percentage points from 6.625% thirty days ago, and well above February's monthly average of 6.19% — the low point of the past seven months. After dipping through winter, rates climbed through March (6.48%), held near 6.42% in April, then moved higher through May (6.55%) and June (6.66%) before reaching the current spot rate. For Roy buyers financing near the median price, that February-to-now climb of 0.56 percentage points translates to a measurable increase in the monthly payment, adding friction at a moment when sellers are already competing against 151 active listings.
Payment math
At $428,000 — Roy's approximate median — a buyer putting 20% down carries a monthly principal-and-interest payment of $2,218 at today's 6.75% rate: $28 more than 30 days ago when the rate was 6.625% (when the payment would have been $2,190), and $126 above the February low when rates averaged 6.19% and that same loan would have cost $2,092 a month.
If you're buying
With 151 active listings and a sale-to-list ratio of 98.22%, Roy is offering real negotiating room — particularly in the under-$400,000 band, where 9 homes closed at a median of $330,000 and days on market averaged 9 days, suggesting some softness. Target homes in established neighborhoods like Highgate Cove or along the Edgewater Estates corridor that have been listed more than 30 days; at the current pace, sellers in that group are more likely to accept offers below list. Veterans and active-duty buyers near Hill AFB should also price-check VA financing at 6.375% — roughly 0.375 percentage points below the conventional 30-year rate — which brings the monthly payment on a $428,000 home meaningfully lower than the conventional math.
If you're selling
Sellers in Roy need to price to June's actual sale-to-list ratio of 98.22%, not to May's 100.1% — the market shifted in one month and buyers know it. With 151 active listings competing for 26 closings, homes in the $400,000–$700,000 range (where 17 of June's 26 sales occurred) should be priced at or slightly below recent comparable sales in subdivisions like Rosewood or Country Meadows to avoid sitting. Homes that need to reduce after listing are taking longer and leaving money on the table — 9 of June's 26 closings had already cut price before going under contract.
Outlook
Roy enters July and August with more supply than it has seen in over a year and a rate environment that has moved steadily higher since February. If new listings continue arriving at June's pace of 67 per month while closings stay near 26, the months of supply will keep climbing from June's 5.81 months — pushing Roy further into buyer-friendly territory by late summer. Seasonal demand from Hill AFB personnel relocating before the school year could provide a modest lift in July closings, but that window is narrow and sellers who overprice into it are likely to miss it.
Watch for
At the current pace of new listings running at 67 per month against roughly 26 closings, active inventory could cross 200 homes by September — a level that would likely push the sale-to-list ratio toward the low-97% range and make price reductions the norm rather than the exception in Roy's under-$400,000 segment.
"Four-day median, 151 active listings, and a softening sale-to-list ratio — Roy's June tells two stories at once."
Common questions about Roy this month
Is Roy a buyer's or seller's market in June 2026? ▾
The data points toward buyers gaining ground. Active inventory reached 151 homes in June — 42% above June 2025's 106 — and the sale-to-list ratio fell to 98.22%, meaning most sellers accepted less than asking price. With 26 closings against 151 active listings, it would take about 5.8 months to sell every home currently listed at June's pace, which sits in the range where buyers can negotiate. The 4-day median days on market is fast, but that reflects a small number of well-priced homes moving quickly, not broad market heat.
Why are homes closing so fast in Roy if inventory is rising? ▾
The 4-day median days on market reflects the homes that did sell in June — a group of 26 closings that were likely priced correctly from the start. The 151 active listings that did not close are a separate story; many of those are sitting longer. When a small share of listings are priced at or below market, they move almost immediately, pulling the median down even as the broader pool of inventory grows.
How much does the current mortgage rate affect a Roy home purchase? ▾
At 6.75% on a $428,000 home with 20% down, the monthly principal-and-interest payment is $2,218. That is $28 more than 30 days ago when the rate was 6.625%, and $126 more than February's low when rates averaged 6.19% and the payment would have been $2,092. Veterans buying near Hill AFB may qualify for VA financing at 6.375%, which reduces the monthly payment by roughly $90 compared to the conventional rate.
What price range is moving fastest in Roy right now? ▾
The $400,000–$700,000 band accounted for 17 of June's 26 closings, with a median sale price of $470,000 and a median days on market of 0 — meaning most of those homes went under contract the day they listed or before. The under-$400,000 segment closed 9 homes at a median of $330,000 with a 9-day median, suggesting slightly more time on market for lower-priced homes.
Should I wait to buy in Roy or move now? ▾
Inventory is building and the sale-to-list ratio has softened, which gives buyers more negotiating room than they had in May. However, rates climbed from 6.19% in February to 6.75% today, adding $126 per month to the cost of a median-priced home. If rates continue rising toward 7%, that monthly cost increases further. Buyers who find a well-priced home in a neighborhood like Rosewood or Holley Acres and can negotiate below the 98.22% average sale-to-list ratio are in a better position than they were six months ago — but waiting for rates to fall is a separate bet with no guaranteed timeline.
