Buyers Find Great Deals in These U.S. Housing Markets
With over 25 years in real estate, I've seen plenty of market shifts, but here’s a noteworthy trend: in 38 out of the top 50 U.S. housing markets, homes are currently selling for less than their asking price. Florida and Texas are leading the way with the deepest discounts—Miami and West Palm Beach are nearly 5% below list price. Meanwhile, homes in coastal cities are still commanding top dollar for sellers. Navigating these kinds of changing conditions is exactly where experience pays off, whether you’re buying, selling, or investing. My focus is always on representing your best interests and turning market data into smooth, profitable outcomes.

US Existing Home Sales Edge Up
With over 25 years in real estate, I always keep an eye on the latest market movements to best serve my clients—whether you’re buying, selling, or investing. Early in Q3, existing home sales in the US dipped 1.7% month-over-month but still managed a 0.7% increase year-over-year, signaling steady activity above last summer’s pace. The median price for existing homes now sits at $434,100, marking 37 straight months of annual price gains and giving many homeowners extra equity to consider. Inventory remains tight, ending early Q3 at 1.54 million homes—down 1.9% from the previous month and 0.6% from last year—so it’s important for buyers to keep a close watch on available listings. Even with rising prices, housing affordability has improved nationally, which means buyers who are prepared and patient may find the right opportunity as the market shifts. Mortgage rates are hovering in the high-6% range for a 30-year fixed loan, so any future rate drops could further open up possibilities for buyers as summer continues. Staying informed and ready can make all the difference.

USA: Why ā€˜Price Stability’ Is a Myth
After 25 years in real estate, I’ve seen firsthand how the idea of 'price stability' in the US is more myth than reality. Prices don’t all move in lockstep—when something like technology gets cheaper (think supercomputers in our pockets), other things like hotel rooms, sports tickets, or tuition often become more expensive. People shift their spending, and that shapes the value of everything from homes to everyday services. The truth is, the central bank can’t control every price, because so many global and local forces come into play with every transaction. If the dollar were truly steady, we might see more investment freed up from chasing inflation hedges, which could lower prices in some areas but drive up the cost of things that are truly limited. In real estate, these shifting prices aren’t always a sign of trouble—they can actually point to growth and new opportunities for buyers and investors. Change is part of progress, and understanding these patterns is key to making smart moves in any market.

The best U.S. cities to buy a home in before prices soar, ranked
After 25 years navigating the real estate landscape, one thing I keep an eye on is where opportunity meets value. Right now, cities in the Midwest and Southeast—think Raleigh, Grand Rapids, and Houston—are standing out. These areas offer strong job growth, diverse economies, and great amenities, but home values are still in the $265,000 to $500,000 range. For buyers looking to get ahead of the next price jump, these markets are worth serious consideration. It’s all about timing and knowing where to look, and I’m always focused on making the process smooth and profitable for those I represent.

Texas Housing Shows Signs of Recovery
After over 25 years navigating Texas real estate, I’ve seen our market weather its fair share of ups and downs. Lately, I’m noticing some encouraging signs: inventory is tightening again, which tells me we’re heading toward a healthier market balance. Homebuilders are reporting increased backlogs—a real indicator that demand is picking up after a recent slowdown. These positive trends are happening alongside a boost in job growth across the region, further supporting our housing rebound. As someone who’s helped clients buy, sell, and invest through every market cycle, I believe these shifts point to a stronger outlook for Texas housing. It’ll be interesting to see how policymakers respond to broader growth and inflation pressures as our recovery unfolds.

Houston Housing Market Shifts in 2026 as Sales Rise and Buyers Gain More Choices
With over 25 years navigating Houston’s real estate landscape, I’ve seen firsthand how shifts in the market create new opportunities for both buyers and sellers. As of 2026, there are 38,839 active single-family homes available, offering buyers a broader selection to choose from. With inventory sitting at 5.2 months of supply and the median home price steady at $345,000, the market is balancing out. Homes are averaging 52 days on the market, which gives sellers more to consider as they plan their next steps, especially with mortgage rates influencing decisions. My focus has always been to guide clients through changes like these, ensuring every move is as smooth and profitable as possible.
