If you look back over the last few years, the market has actually been quite stable. There are many predictions that things could shift in 2026: interest rates are expected to come down slightly, home prices are projected to rise modestly, and more homes may come on the market. With more inventory, buyers should have more options, which could bring more activity overall.

Are these predictions accurate or just wishful thinking? Only time will tell. One point that does seem widely agreed upon, however, is that home prices are unlikely to fall significantly and interest rates are not expected to drop below 6%. So if you’re waiting for a dramatic market crash or for rates to plummet, 2026 may not be the year you’re hoping for.

That said, if you’re looking for a calm, stable market, now can be a great time to buy. You may not find your dream home on the first day, and that’s okay. Take your time, stay patient, and keep a close eye on new listings as they come on the market.

I've been working this soil for about 17 years! It was hard pack clay when I started I never been gardened before. I love this weekend all of the plants in our garden are either edible or have flowers to attract pollinators. Very proud of my soil. I never brought in dirt. Just kept adding free organic matter like manure and wood chips.

Hey Realtor friends! Right out the gate we had a full price cash offer on this one. The buyer ended up canceling due to personal reasons so we are back on the market. Very private with wolf creek frontage and NID ditch water.

Attention Realtors and Homeowners: I have a buyer VA looking up to $500k. Close to town. He likes Morgan Ranch but any place close to town (Grass Valley of Nevada City). Homes newer the 1978, or 1992+ would be better. Doesn't really want much land. 2-3 bed preferred. A view would be a plus. Fiber optic or Cable (Infinity) internet is a must. Let me know what you have anything coming soon!
