Case-Shiller: National House Price Index Up 1.5% year-over-year in June
June’s S&P/Case-Shiller National Home Price Index tells an interesting story: home prices edged up 0.13% for the month and 1.5% year-over-year. However, with inflation at 3.5%, real home values actually dipped. Cities like Chicago saw a robust 6.9% annual rise, while Seattle experienced a 2% decline. All of this unfolded against a backdrop of 6.5% mortgage rates. Navigating home buying or selling in markets like Massachusetts and Rhode Island means understanding how these national trends intersect with our local neighborhoods. My approach is always to break down these shifts so you can make confident, well-informed decisions—whether you’re moving up, downsizing, or just exploring your options.

US Existing Home Sales Edge Up
As we move through early Q3, the latest figures show US existing-home sales dipped 1.7% month-over-month, but still finished up 0.7% compared to last year. This means completed transactions are holding slightly above last summer’s pace—something I’m seeing firsthand in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Median prices reached $434,100, marking the 37th consecutive month of yearly increases. For many homeowners, that’s more equity to track and consider for future decisions. Inventory remains tight, ending early Q3 at 1.54 million homes (down 1.9% month-over-month and 0.6% year-over-year), so for buyers, closely monitoring new listings is as important as ever. Interestingly, even with rising prices, national housing affordability has improved, which tells me there are still opportunities for well-prepared buyers—especially as value, timing, and available choices start to align. With mortgage rates recently averaging in the high 6% range for a 30-year fixed loan, any easing could offer additional support for buyers as the summer market unfolds. If you have questions about how these trends might affect your plans, I’m always here to offer perspective and guidance.

USA: Why ‘Price Stability’ Is a Myth
We often hear about 'price stability' as if it’s something we can count on, but in reality, the U.S. economy doesn’t work that way. When prices rise for one thing—say, a popular vacation rental or college tuition—it might be because consumers are spending less elsewhere, not because everything is getting more expensive together. Just look at technology: as smartphones became more affordable and accessible, other limited resources like hotel rooms or event tickets grew pricier. This perspective challenges the idea that the central bank can truly control price stability, since global trends and millions of transactions shape how much we pay for goods and services. For those of us navigating major investments—like buying or selling a home—a steady dollar could encourage more investment in real estate, instead of people focusing on inflation hedges. Changing prices aren’t always a sign of trouble; sometimes, they show progress and new opportunities across the economy. That’s something I always keep in mind when helping clients make sense of the market and find the right move for their future.

The American suburbs are better than you think
There’s often a lively debate between city living and life in the suburbs, especially here in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. While cities are known for job opportunities and a vibrant array of amenities, many families still find the suburbs appealing—especially when it comes to raising children. Suburban neighborhoods often provide shorter commutes than people expect, along with more space for family gatherings and a sense of community. The key is finding what fits your lifestyle best. Having guided clients through a range of home purchases and sales, I’ve seen firsthand that both urban and suburban living offer unique advantages. It’s about discovering which environment truly feels like home for you.

Why American Buyers Are Finally Getting Leverage
We're seeing a real shift in the market: buyers are finally getting more leverage in many neighborhoods. With competition cooling, builders are stepping up with incentives, mortgage-rate buydowns, and price adjustments to help bring buyers off the fence. There are more homes available now, meaning you have the breathing room to compare options without feeling rushed into making an offer. While higher mortgage rates are still making many buyers cautious, the increased flexibility and negotiating power can open new doors for those ready to make a move. As someone who’s helped clients navigate both competitive and balanced markets in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I know how these changes can impact your search—and how to help you make the most of them.

States with the least—and most—housing market inventory heading into the fall
As someone who helps clients navigate the Massachusetts and Rhode Island markets, I’m always watching inventory trends closely—especially as we move into the fall. Nationally, housing inventory ticked up just 2.1% from July 2025 to July 2026, a much slower pace than the 24.7% increase seen the year before. Even with this rise, the number of available homes is still 9.1% below where we were in 2019. The Midwest and Northeast, including areas like Boston, remain particularly tight, and the latest data shows active inventory increased by just 23,465 homes. For buyers and sellers, understanding these shifts is key to making informed decisions. My approach is always to keep you in the loop and help you navigate this competitive landscape with patience and up-to-date insight.
