The second half of 2026 could bring a little more movement to the housing market. Mortgage rates may ease, and the typical down payment has already fallen to about $23,400, down 19% from a year ago 📉🏠

For buyers who have been waiting, those shifts could change what feels possible. Let’s look at what’s happening in our local market and see how the numbers line up for you 📞🏠

2008 comparisons miss one major number: homeowner equity 📄🏠

Back then, equity and mortgage debt were nearly even. Today, homeowners hold $34.9 trillion in equity compared with $14.4 trillion in mortgage debt. That gap gives many homeowners a meaningful cushion and more options if selling becomes necessary 📊🏠

If crash fears have kept you waiting, let’s look at what’s happening in our local market and talk through what a move could mean for you 💰📞

Your home may already be holding part of the answer 🏠

A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, allows eligible homeowners to borrow against available equity as expenses come up. It works as a revolving line, so you draw what you need rather than receiving the full amount at once. That flexibility can be useful for renovations or another major planned expense 💰🏠

Your home secures the line, and rates or terms may vary, so the details matter. Send me a message and let’s see whether a HELOC makes sense for your plans 📞📩

The typical down payment fell to about $23,400 in early 2026, down 19% from the year before 📉💰

Buyers may be benefiting from a more balanced market, lower-down-payment loan options, and assistance programs that are still widely overlooked. In fact, many buyers who qualify for help never use it 📩🏠

If saving has been the biggest thing holding you back, send me a message. Let’s see what options may be available to you!
