In today’s article, we’re sharing the full results from the Zoodealio-ResiClub Real Estate Agent Survey—Q3 2026. To conduct our real estate agent survey, ResiClub partnered with Zoodealio, a cash-offer platform and iBuyer-management software designed for real estate agents.

Among the 208 real estate agents/brokers who took the survey, nearly half (44%) have been real estate agents for 15 years or longer.

The survey was fielded between August 17 and September 29, 2026. Respondents included real estate agents spanning all regions of the U.S., giving us a ground-level view of seller urgency, seller motivation, leverage shifts, commission structures, and expectations for the next 12 months.

Nationally, a majority (63%) of agents report lower homebuyer demand relative to 12 months ago. The pullback is most pronounced in the Midwest, where 74% of agents reported seeing lower demand. In the Southwest, no agents reported seeing demand pick up, and 66% reported lower demand.

As buyer demand softens, nearly three in four U.S. agents (74%) say leverage is shifting toward homebuyers in their local housing markets. That share is highest in the Southwest (89%), followed by the Southeast (78%) and the West (74%).

As buyer demand fades, seller urgency is rising. Nationally, 49% of agents say seller urgency is higher than it was 12 months ago, led by the Midwest (60%), Southwest (55%), and Southeast (48%). In these regions, fewer sellers appear willing to wait for conditions to improve.
