What’s Ahead for the Housing Market: A Look Toward 2026

📈 What’s Ahead for the Housing Market: A Look Toward 2026
As we move through the final months of 2025, real estate professionals and homeowners alike are watching the market closely. The good news? The latest forecasts suggest a steady and positive trajectory for home prices and sales volume over the next few years.

🏡 Home Prices Are Set to Rise
According to recent projections, home prices are expected to grow by approximately 3% annually through 2029. While the pace may be gradual, the direction is clear — upward. Even the most conservative experts agree: despite regional variations, the national trend points to continued appreciation.
This is a reassuring signal for homeowners and investors. It suggests that real estate remains a solid long-term investment, and that now may be a strategic time to buy or sell.

🔄 Market Momentum Is Returning
In addition to price growth, home sales are forecasted to increase from 4.8 million in 2025 to 5.2 million in 2026. While this isn’t a dramatic leap, it’s a meaningful shift that indicates renewed momentum in the housing market.
Several factors are contributing to this trend:
• Mortgage rates are projected to ease slightly.
• Home prices are moderating, making properties more accessible.
• Buyer and seller activity is expected to pick up, especially as we head into the new year.
This fall could be the beginning of a more active market, offering opportunities for both buyers looking to make a move and sellers ready to capitalize on growing demand.
