Report: Majority of Metro Areas Saw Home Prices Increase in Q2
Here’s a quick look at the latest market pulse: Over 80% of metro areas saw home prices rise in Q2 2026, with the national median now at $434,900—a 1.5% increase. The South continues to lead in sales growth, while mortgage rates are holding steady in the mid-6% range. As your local Florida Realtor®, I keep a close eye on these numbers because they shape both dream home searches and smart investment strategies. Inventory and affordability remain hurdles, especially for first-time buyers, but staying informed is key to making confident real estate moves in Florida.
