2026 Housing Market Forecast

Everyone is asking the same question: What will the 2026 housing market look like?

While we can’t actually read a crystal ball (even if our flamingo tries to help 🦩), we are watching four key indicators — the Two I’s and Two A’s:

1. Interest Rates – Rates have dipped slightly and remain the biggest headline in real estate.
2. Inventory – We expect a modest increase in homes for sale, giving buyers more options.
3. Appreciation – Home values are still rising, but at a slower, more stable pace.
4. Affordability – With slower appreciation, slightly lower rates, and rising wages, affordability should improve in 2026.

The result? A more balanced and slightly more buyer-friendly market.

Stay tuned — we’ll continue watching the trends so you don’t have to.
