A new housing market is emerging in 2026, marking a step towards “normal.” After four years of pandemic-driven extremes — including frozen migration, volatile mortgage rates, major affordability challenges, and uneven supply across regions — the U.S. housing market enters a new era.

Home sales are positioned to grow again and affordability starts to improve as home prices level out and mortgage rates come down. Many of the unusual dynamics of the early 2020s are beginning to fade: mobility is slowly picking up, inventory is normalizing in many regions, and buyers and sellers are resetting their expectations after years of dramatic changes.

Considering a move in 2026? Reach out to start planning and thinking through your next steps.

Check out some of my favorite New England ski areas. I've skied (or snowboarded!) almost all of them, so DM me if you need a recommendation for a resort or place to stay!

It was an honor to help local Swampscott clients successfully market and sell their home for more than $100,000 over asking price. That's no small feat in this softening market!

Moving can be bittersweet and stressful when you have raised kids, created so many memories, and compiled oh-so-much stuff! Having close collaboration and great teamwork made this sale and process a huge success all around. Thank you for trusting me throughout this process!
