What To Expect from the Housing Market in the Second Half of 2026 The second half of the year probably won't be perfect. But it could be better. Mortgage rates may ease. Home sales could pick up. And prices are expected to continue rising at a healthier, more sustainable pace. If you've been waiting for signs of progress, this is it. If you want to understand what these forecasts mean for your plans and what’s happening in our local market, let’s connect. 💁🏻‍♀️ Andie Katz, Assoc.

If the first half of this year has left you feeling stuck, you're definitely not the only one. Mortgage rates stayed higher than people hoped. Affordability was still tough. And every time it felt like things might improve, something else got in the way. But here's the good news. A lot of housing experts think the second half of the year could start heading in a better direction. Not because everything magically gets fixed overnight... But because if inflation cools off and things settle down overseas, mortgage rates could ease, more buyers could jump back in, and the market could finally start feeling a little less stuck. Will everything suddenly be easy? Probably not. But after the first half we've had, "better" is a pretty good place to start. If you're wondering what that could mean for your plans (or for our local market), send me a message. I’ve got the latest forecasts on rates, prices, and more. And I'd be happy to walk you through what to expect. 💁🏻‍♀️ Andie Katz, Assoc.
