🏡 June 2026 Housing Market Update
The market continues to shift, but buyers are adapting.
✔️ Mortgage rates have moved up from earlier lows, but they're still lower than they were a year ago.
✔️ More homes are hitting the market, giving buyers more choices and reducing some of the intense competition we've seen in recent years.
✔️ Home prices are beginning to soften in certain areas, and sellers are becoming more willing to negotiate.
✔️ Buyers aren't waiting for "perfect" conditions. Instead, many are focusing on what they can control: preparation, strategy, and finding the right opportunity.
✔️ The spring market has remained surprisingly resilient despite rate fluctuations and economic uncertainty.
Bottom line:
There may never be a perfect market, but more inventory and increased negotiating opportunities are creating advantages for prepared buyers.
As always, real estate is local, and every buyer's situation is unique. Having a plan matters more than trying to perfectly time the market.
