The Mid-Year Housing Market Update: Why Forecasts Changed in 2026
The housing market hasn’t rebounded as quickly as experts originally hoped. But that doesn’t mean it’s stalled.
Higher inflation and lingering economic uncertainty caused economists to revise their forecasts for this year. But importantly, when those two things settle down, many experts believe the market will regain its momentum.
So don’t see this revision in forecasts as a sign of trouble. See it as a temporary reaction to overall conditions and uncertainty.
If you want to know what’s happening in our local market, and what it could mean for your plans for the rest of this year, let’s connect.

Still deciding whether to buy your first home now or wait? Here’s something you’ll want to consider.
Buyers who get into their first home around age 30 build about $119,000 more in net worth by age 50 compared to those who wait until their 40s.
So, every year you spend saving for the "right" moment could quietly chip away at your future wealth.
That doesn’t mean buy before you’re ready. But it does mean, if you’re ready and able to buy now, it may be a better strategy than waiting.
DM me and let's map out what timeline fits your situation and our market. You might find that a head start matters more than waiting to save the "perfect" down payment.

Smaller homes are having a moment.
That’s because affordability is tight and, for many buyers, smaller is what fits the budget. And builders are listening.
Newly built homes have been trending smaller since 2014 – and that’s on purpose.
They're more affordable than larger homes. And many come with built-in community amenities like walking trails, fitness centers, and even co-working spaces, so less space still delivers.
If you've been feeling priced out of bigger homes, a smaller one could fit your budget and your lifestyle. And with brand-new everything, it may not feel like as much of a compromise as you think.
