After a slower couple of years in real estate, 2026 could finally mark a turning point. Industry insights suggest that more people are expected to enter the market — and that opens the door for you, too.

📈 More People Are Expected to Move

Over the past few years, high mortgage rates and affordability concerns caused many potential movers to hit pause. But life doesn’t wait — and experts predict that 2026 will see more movement as people return to the market.

💸 Mortgage Rates Could Ease (But Slowly)

Mortgage rates, a major factor in home affordability, spiked earlier this year but have recently begun to trend downward. Forecasts suggest they may continue to decline into 2026 — but expect a slow and uneven journey.

Rates may not plummet overnight, but even small drops can lead to meaningful savings on your monthly payment.

The key takeaway? Any easing in rates can boost your buying power — and that shift may already be underway.

🏠 Home Prices: Growth, but at a Sustainable Pace

Nationally, home prices are expected to continue rising, though at a slower and more predictable pace. That’s good news for both buyers and sellers:

• Buyers get more time to plan and budget

• Sellers benefit from steady appreciation

Even in markets where slight declines are happening, long-term trends show values are still well above pre-pandemic levels.

✨ What It All Means for You

2026 could be the year real estate momentum returns:

✔️ More listings hitting the market
✔️ Improved affordability with lower rates
✔️ Steady, manageable home price growth

Whether you’re looking to upsize, downsize, or buy your first home, now’s the time to start getting ready.
