What would make you feel more comfortable making a move?
63% of would-be homebuyers say lower home prices. 50% say lower mortgage rates.
If that’s what you want too, here’s the update you’ve been looking for. Experts are projecting single-digit price increases in many markets this year. Some areas will even experience slight declines. That’s a far cry from the 20% rise we saw just a few years ago. At the same time, mortgage rates have eased from their recent highs. While it’s not enough to completely change the game on affordability, both trends should stick around going into 2026.
