The 2026 housing market is starting from a different place than last year.

  1. Inventory is up 13%.
  2. Price growth is easing.
  3. Mortgage rates finally dropped below 6% last Friday.
  4. And the median U.S. monthly housing payment just fell to the lowest level in 2 years. (Redfin)

There's a reason buyers are moving now, and judging by the demand I've seen even this week, they're not all waiting for spring.

I'll send you another update soon as we track how these trends unfold.

P.S. It's still early in the year, but there are reasons for buyers to be optimistic. I'm always here if you have any questions.
