Going into 2026, there was a lot of talk about a possible recession that would cause the housing market to crash. Some in the media were even forecasting home prices would drop by as much as 10-20%- and that might have made you feel a bit unsure about buying a home.
Brian D. Luke, Head of Commodities at S&P Dow Jones Indices, explains:
βLooking back at the year, 2025 appears to have exceeded average annual home price gains over the past 35 years.β
The big takeaway? Home prices almost always go up
The fact that home values went up every single year except those four in red is why owning a home can be one of the smartest moves you can make. When youβre a homeowner, you own something that typically becomes more valuable over time. And as your homeβs value appreciates, your net worth grows.
Bottom Line
Home prices almost always go up over time. That makes buying a home a smart move, if youβre ready and able. Connect with a local real estate agent to talk about your goals and whatβs available in our area.
