Trying to make sense of the housing market this summer? Watch these three numbers. 📊

1. Rates — the 30-year fixed is hovering in the mid-6% range, and most forecasters expect it to drift slightly lower through 2026.
2. Inventory — about 4.5 months of supply, the most balanced it's been in years. More homes means more choice and less pressure.
3. Prices — largely flat nationally for 2026, so you're not chasing a runaway market.

Put together, it's a calmer, more balanced market than the past few years — which tends to favor prepared buyers who know their budget.

If you're hoping to be settled before the new school year, summer is your window — and the calendar moves faster than most families expect. 📦

A rough timeline that keeps things low-stress:

- Now–early summer: Get pre-approved and start touring. Knowing your budget first makes every other step easier.
- Mid-summer: Have your offer in and inspection done. Closings often take 30–45 days, so this is the sweet spot for an August move.
- Late summer: Closing, movers, utilities, and address changes — with a little breathing room before the first day of school.

The families who start early get the most choice and the least stress. Leaving it to the last minute usually means rushing the biggest decision of the year.
