Owning real estate is considered by many as a great way to create both long-term financial stability and a sense of personal pride. Despite some major shifts in the housing market several years ago, annual data indicates little change-at times even slight increases-in both average interest rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and average home values in the U.S. over the last few years. While it's impossible to know for sure what will happen in 2026, waiting for either interest rates or home prices to drop might not be in your best long-term interest. Get in touch today to discuss the state of the market and your homebuying options!
