Putting off buying a home? Maybe you’re waiting for a crash to get a better deal – or afraid you’ll buy now and watch your home’s value fall later.

Either way, the widespread drop you’re bracing for may not be coming.

Yes, a few markets are seeing mild declines. But more than 100 economists and housing experts expect home prices will actually rise nationally over the next five years – not fall.

And waiting for a deal that never comes could mean passing up the chance to gain thousands in equity or paying more in a few years for the same home.

So before you decide to wait, let’s talk about your options and what prices are really doing in our area. # bayarea

Pending Home Sales For May 2026

If you spend enough time online, you’d probably think home prices are crashing or they’re about too.

But the data tells a different story.

According to Realtor.com, home prices are still rising in 71% of housing markets across the country.

That’s the majority of markets.

Yes, some areas are seeing slight price declines. But they’re the exception, not the rule.
That’s why it’s important to be careful about where you’re getting your housing market information.

The internet loves dramatic headlines. The data usually tells a more complete story.

A few years ago, sellers could say “no” to just about everything a buyer asked for.

No repairs.
No concessions.
No negotiation.

Today? The market looks a little different.

Zillow says 67% of sellers pay some or all of their buyer’s closing costs.

That doesn’t mean every seller should do it. But it does mean the most successful sellers today understand something important:

The market has shifted. And that’s means negotiation is back on the table.

Sometimes helping with closing costs makes sense. Sometimes another concession is the better move. But it’s normal for today’s market to require some give and take.

The key is knowing what buyers are asking for in your area, and which compromises are actually worth making.
