House Price Appreciation by State and Metro Area in the Second Quarter of 2026
It’s always interesting to see where home values are headed—especially when you’re guiding clients through major life changes. In the second quarter of 2026, U.S. house prices rose by 2.1% year-over-year, and 47 states saw gains. Alaska and Vermont saw the biggest jumps, while New Mexico and Washington experienced declines. On the metro level, 75 areas posted increases, with Elgin, IL leading and Everett, WA seeing a dip.

Having helped Naperville-area buyers and sellers for over twenty years, these trends matter to me because every move—whether it’s your first, your next, or your last—deserves a strategy grounded in up-to-the-minute market realities. I’ve found that patience and a clear understanding of these shifts make all the difference when choosing your next step.

Why Buyers and Sellers Are Stuck | Check out the Move Meter at www.gloriaNow.com and learn more about your next home location.
Right now, our Naperville market is feeling the squeeze—buyers and sellers seem to be at a standstill. Higher mortgage rates are making monthly payments tougher to justify, causing many would-be buyers to pause their search. We're seeing fewer pending sales, which means fewer buyers are taking the leap from house hunting to making a real offer. At the same time, homeowners who secured lower rates in the past are understandably reluctant to list, since giving up those affordable payments doesn’t come easy. The outcome? A true housing stalemate: buyers are waiting for a break, sellers are holding onto their low-rate loans, and transactions are moving at a slower pace than usual. After 20 years guiding clients through all sorts of market shifts, I’ve learned that patience and perspective go a long way—especially when the road feels uncertain. Wherever you are in your journey, turning life changes into home solutions is always possible, even when the market seems stuck.

MBA says July mortgage payments dipped, affordability improved
July brought a bit of relief for homebuyers: median mortgage payments slipped to $2,175, thanks in part to wage growth outpacing payment increases. I always keep an eye on these shifts, because even small changes in affordability can open doors for Naperville families dreaming of a new chapter—whether that means moving up, downsizing, or finally stepping into the market. Of course, the full picture is more layered: affordability still depends on where you’re buying, the type of loan you use, and even broad demographic factors. As we watch rates, home prices, and inventory unfold, I’m here to help you navigate the numbers and turn life changes into confident home decisions.

US Home Prices Face Real Value Erosion | Check out the Move Meter at www.gloriaNow.com and learn more about your next home location.
Lately, I’ve been watching a trend that every Naperville buyer and seller should know about: while US home prices continue to rise on paper, their real value has quietly slipped for the 13th month in a row. In Q2 2026, one federal index actually held steady from mid- to late-quarter (once you account for seasonal factors), and even though national appreciation nudged up to about 1.5% by late Q2, it’s still about two points behind inflation at 3.5%. That means your dollar doesn’t stretch as far as it used to—even as the headlines talk about rising prices.

Here’s some context I’ve learned after two decades guiding local families: nominal prices have stayed strong—one federal measure hasn’t dipped year-over-year since early 2012—but today’s affordability crunch is real. Typical monthly payments on existing single-family homes ticked up again last quarter, putting the squeeze on first-time buyers most of all. Whether you’re thinking about moving up, downsizing, or just starting out, understanding this balance between price and real value is key to making smart decisions. Turning life changes into home solutions has always been my focus, no matter what the market throws our way.

NAHB Builder Confidence Rises to 35 in August 2026
Builder confidence has ticked up, with the Housing Market Index reaching 35 in August 2026. While this is a sign of progress, it's important to remember the market is still feeling the weight of higher borrowing costs, rising construction expenses, and unpredictable demand. For those considering new construction, it’s telling that 35% of builders are cutting prices by about 6%—a move that speaks volumes about the current landscape. The Midwest is seeing the strongest activity, while the South and West continue to trail behind. Having guided Naperville buyers and sellers through both hot and uncertain markets, I know that understanding these trends is key to making smart moves—whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or starting fresh. Patience and perspective go a long way in turning market shifts into real home solutions.
