How Many Transactions Did the Average Real Estate Agent Close in 2026?
Between July 2025 and July 2026, the average full-time real estate agent on SkySlope closed 14.9 transactions, with a median deal size of $518,594. That’s nearly 1.5x the National Association of Realtors’ reported median of 10 transactions for experienced agents in 2025.*
(Note that we excluded agents with fewer than 5 transactions so the number captures full-time production, not occasional or part-time activity.)
Is the real estate market actually slow in 2026?
Every agent’s heard the same thing this year: the market’s slow. But that narrative doesn’t hold up against the actual transaction data.
What really stands out is the pace behind 14.9. Fourteen deals breaks down to roughly one closing a month. That’s not quite the reality “slow” describes.
Part of the reason for this is that thousands of agents have left the field. As deal volume tightened, many part-time and lower-producing agents exited real estate altogether.
Similarly, a median deal totaling north of half a million dollars means the “average” agent isn’t scraping by on a handful of small deals; they’re closing real, substantial transactions on a regular cadence, proving that the market is consolidating around those agents who are still active.
How does 14.9 transactions compare to the national average?
It’s not just SkySlope agents outpacing the “market’s slow” narrative. According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2026 Member Profile, the typical Realtor with 6 or more years of experience closed a median of 10 transaction sides in 2025.
What does this mean for your own production?
If your 2026 transaction count is below 14.9, that isn’t automatically a red flag — again, the NAR median of 10 is still a normal, sustainable pace for an experienced agent. But if you’re tracking well above 14.9, you’re not just doing “okay” in a challenging market — you’re outperforming an industry benchmark built from real transaction data.
