Are you still renting and thinking of making that first time home buyer purchase?
Are you holding off of selling your house and making a move to either a bigger house or want to downsize?
These are questions many renters and homeowners are having with the recent market changes.
Here are some key take-aways:
-
Sales of existing homes will grow moderately as buyers become accustomed to higher prices and mortgage rates, but transactions could surge if rates decline.
-
New policies on real estate commissions and the sharing of home listings on public MLS systems will likely vary between regions before revamped national rules are enforced.
-
Newly built homes will continue to fill in the supply gaps created by the lack of existing home inventory, especially by homebuilders who can buy down mortgage rates.
-
Mortgage rates will likely range from about 6% to 7% unless there is a recession, but short-term lending rates will continue falling through 2026.
