Realtor.com Projects Continued Home Price Growth for 2026
Realtor.com has updated their 2026 forecast, projecting existing-home price growth to ease to just 1.2%. For those keeping an eye on the Middle Tennessee market, this means we could see steadier mortgage rates around 6.3%, a slight dip in home sales, and inventory ticking up by 3.6%. With affordability set to improve and rents expected to decline by 1.2%, it’s a welcome shift for buyers and renters alike. As someone who focuses on residential real estate here in Franklin and the broader Middle Tennessee area, I’m watching these trends closely to help clients navigate an evolving market with confidence.
