eXp World Holdings Inc., a leading technology-driven real estate company, has released its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The company has demonstrated resilience amid a challenging market environment, driven by strategic acquisitions and a commitment to enhancing agent satisfaction. This article delves into the key highlights from the Q2 2026 report, focusing on operational performance, financial metrics, and market conditions.
1. Overview of Operations
eXp World Holdings operates a diversified portfolio of service-based businesses, primarily generating revenue from commissions earned through its residential real estate brokerages. The company leverages a cloud-based technology platform to provide a comprehensive suite of services, including mortgage, title, and content creation for real estate agents and brokers. A significant milestone in Q2 2026 was the acquisition of NextHome, which expanded its service offerings to independent real estate professionals and brokerages under the NextHome franchise system.
2. Market Conditions and Performance Metrics
Rising Home Sales and Prices
The performance of eXp World Holdings is closely linked to the housing market, which has shown signs of improvement. In the first half of 2026, U.S. home sales rose by 2.8% compared to the same period in 2025, with home sale prices increasing by 1.8%. However, inventory levels remained constrained at 4.6 months of supply, consistent with the previous year.
Agent Satisfaction Metrics
Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, the company reported an increase in its agent count, thanks in large part to the NextHome acquisition. However, the agent net promoter score (aNPS) declined to 69 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 77 and 78 in the same periods of 2025, indicating potential areas for improvement in agent satisfaction.
3. Financial Results

Revenues for eXp World Holdings increased by 11% and 8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.
