What's the Latest in the Housing Market for September 2026?

Currently the existing homes for sale are experiencing extended days on market and price reductions in response to higher interest rates, and some reflection on overinflated pricing from the previous market condition where many homes received multiple offers. Multiple offers ar stilling happening in hot spots!

Incentives for purchasing new construction homes are very enticing and helps the sting of higher interest rates and overall price increases, while also creating stronger competition for the existing home market.
Many buyers prefer an established neighborhood over new construction. Others don't care for HOA's. Many want larger lots than what is offered in new construction these days. As always, LOCATION rules! The desire to own a home stays strong for those that can afford to buy, as the rent prices remain high and less desirable.
Patience is key for those ready to sell. It's a finicky market for sure, but if your property is in good shape and priced realistically with a competitive edge, success will follow.
Buyers leading the market include those with high equity in current homes needing a transition, high income earners, & buyers w/strong cash availability. Also, many home buyers are winning with available incentives.

Wowza! My latest Review!...

Working with Heather was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she brings a depth of market knowledge that is truly difficult to find. She understood local pricing trends, neighborhood dynamics, and competitive conditions in a way that gave us real confidence throughout the entire process.

What set Heather apart was how seamlessly she guided us through every step of the transaction. Her process expertise meant that nothing caught us off guard, and we always knew exactly what was coming next. When it came time to negotiate, she was sharp, strategic, and composed, advocating firmly on our behalf while keeping the deal moving forward constructively.

Her due diligence was exceptional. She left no stone unturned in making sure we had a complete and accurate picture of everything involved in our decision. And her knowledge of home construction and building systems was something we genuinely did not expect but came to rely on heavily. She could walk through a property and speak knowledgeably about structural elements, materials, and potential concerns in a way that most agents simply cannot.

Beyond all of her professional strengths, Heather is just a wonderful person to work with. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in her clients. She worked tirelessly on our behalf and was always available when we needed her.

We cannot recommend Heather highly enough. She is the kind of realtor you hope to find and feel lucky to have in your corner!
