USA Pending Home Sales Edge up 0.3% | Serving our community over 25 years in the Real Estate and Mortgage Industry. Your in good hands with Embassy as a partner.
Pending home sales in the U.S. edged up just 0.3% mid-Q3—a small but meaningful sign for anyone watching the real estate landscape. Even with higher mortgage rates pushing activity down roughly 5% year over year, determined buyers are still stepping up, encouraged by job growth and rising incomes. Those gains have helped offset climbing home prices, allowing more folks to move forward with contracts despite the headwinds.

Yet, contract signings remain well below their pre-pandemic pace—about 30% lower nationwide. It’s a reminder of how much the market has shifted since the 2021 peak, when mortgage rates dipped near 3% and activity soared. Today, each pending sale is still a key early indicator of where our local markets are headed, especially since most contracts close within one or two months (barring the usual bumps like financing hiccups or inspections).

With over 26 years in real estate and mortgage, I’ve seen first-hand how these early numbers can shape smarter strategies for buyers and sellers alike. Our team is here to help you read the signals, navigate the process, and find success—no matter where the market stands.

California Housing Market Settles Into Steadier Growth | Serving our community over 25 years in the Real Estate and Mortgage Industry. Your in good hands with Embassy as a partner.
California’s housing market is shifting into a phase of steadier, more predictable growth, with home prices projected to rise by about 3% to 4% each year through 2028. For those navigating their next move, this means less of the frenzy and more time to make smart, informed decisions—a welcome change for buyers and sellers alike. Active listings have climbed to approximately 156,300 homes, so there’s more selection and less pressure to rush, with supply expected to keep building through 2027.

Yet, affordability remains a real challenge: only about 18% of California households currently qualify for a typical mortgage (down from nearly a third not long ago), which keeps competition especially fierce for entry-level properties. Homes are selling close to 100% of asking price, and 30-year fixed rates are holding near 6%—with experts expecting those rates to remain steady for the foreseeable future.

Urban markets like Los Angeles County might need a few more years post-2028 to return to their earlier pace, but overall, we’re seeing a climate of stability and predictability. With over 26 years of real estate and mortgage experience, I’m dedicated to helping our community navigate these shifts—crafting smarter strategies and ensuring your real estate journey is as smooth as possible. When the deal gets tough… we get it done.

States Where Homeowners Have Most Home Equity
One thing I’ve seen firsthand after 26+ years in real estate and mortgage: for many homeowners, home equity isn’t just a number—it’s the backbone of their financial stability. In fact, in 10 states, homeowners’ equity actually matches or surpasses their net worth. Hawaii stands at the top, where the average homeowner holds $600,000 in equity (compared to $692,700 net worth). California follows with $550,000 in equity and a net worth of $273,800. Numbers like these highlight just how central real estate can be to building wealth. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply planning for the future, understanding your home’s value—and what it means for your bigger financial picture—can make all the difference. That’s why we’re committed to guiding you through every step, from smart strategies to smooth closings.

US Home Prices: What the Median Misses | Serving our community over 25 years in the Real Estate and Mortgage Industry. Your in good hands with Embassy as a partner.
There’s more to US home prices than the headline numbers suggest. In Q2 2026, the national median for new single-family homes landed at $410.7K, while existing-home medians rose to $435.7K—a $25K gap that quarter. That’s the widest national separation we’ve seen, capping off a trend started back in Q2 2024 when existing-home prices began to outpace new construction.

Much of this shift has roots in the pandemic era: many owners with ultra-low mortgage rates chose to stay put, tightening inventory and making existing homes a hotter commodity. On the builder side, we’re seeing smaller lots, more compact homes, and creative incentives—efforts to keep new homes within reach for buyers. But these medians don’t paint the full picture. Regional factors, home types, lot sizes, and construction costs all play a role in shaping the numbers you see.

By Q2 2026, new-home prices dipped about 1% year-over-year, while existing-home prices, after twelve straight quarters of growth, slowed to a 2% yearly increase. As a team that’s specialized in both real estate and mortgage for over 26 years, we know every local market tells its own story. If you want honest guidance and strategies tailored to your goals, that’s where we come in—helping you make sense of the numbers and what they mean for your next move.

California Housing Market: Prices, Trends, Forecast 2026
The California housing market continues to evolve, with the latest numbers revealing a median price of $901,420 and mortgage rates holding steady at 7%. While sales have edged up slightly, they're still tracking below a 300,000-unit annual pace—a clear sign that high prices and steep mortgage costs are making it tough for buyers to take the plunge. After decades helping families and individuals navigate both real estate sales and financing, I know firsthand how these trends can impact both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re weighing your next move or just looking to understand what’s really happening out there, having the right strategy and honest guidance makes all the difference. We’re here to help our community make smart decisions, no matter how challenging the market gets.

California Law Creates a Streamlined Path for Some Small-Lot Homes
California just took a major step to open up more housing options: Senate Bill 684 now requires a 60-day ministerial approval process for small-lot subdivisions (up to 10 units) on eligible urban infill sites. That means these projects can move forward without environmental reviews or public hearings, provided they fit certain size and unit criteria.

After more than 26 years guiding buyers, sellers, and homeowners through both real estate and mortgage challenges, I can say this is a real shift in how small-scale developments get greenlit. For our community, this could mean faster pathways to new housing—and for those navigating complex transactions, it’s one more way we’re seeing smart solutions emerge. When the deal gets tough, we get it done—by staying on top of changes like these and always putting real strategies to work for our clients.
