If you're wondering what to expect of the housing market in 2026:

Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of REALTORS®, expects the U.S. housing market to improve in 2026, although his outlook has become more cautious during the year.

Key points from Yun's 2026 forecast

Existing-home sales: Originally forecast to rise about 14% in 2026, reflecting lower mortgage rates, improving inventory, and pent-up buyer demand.
Home prices: Expected to increase approximately 4% nationally, with no nationwide price decline anticipated due to continued housing shortages.
Mortgage rates: Projected to average around 6%, improving affordability compared with recent years.
Inventory: More homes are coming to market, giving buyers additional choices and reducing the intense bidding wars seen during the pandemic years.
Affordability: Yun believes wage growth should begin to outpace home-price appreciation, helping buyers gradually regain purchasing power.
Recent revision to the forecast

*** In April 2026, Yun lowered his sales forecast due to rising mortgage rates, higher energy costs, and softer economic growth. His revised outlook calls for:

Existing-home sales growth of about 4% rather than 14%.
New-home sales roughly flat instead of increasing 5%.
Home prices still expected to rise about 4%.

Bottom line

Yun still expects 2026 to be better than the past few years, with more inventory, modest price appreciation, and improved transaction activity. However, instead of a dramatic rebound, the market now appears headed toward a gradual recovery, with mortgage rates remaining the biggest factor affecting buyer demand.

For the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area specifically, the forecast is generally favorable because inventory has been rising and population growth remains strong, though affordability challenges persist.

What do you think of this forecast?

Can you say Vintage? I can- and it's 235 Emery Drive in Donelson! This mid-century brick ranch comes with the original tile in the bathrooms- blue in the full and pink and gray in the half (which is a jack and jill layout between the two secondary bedrooms), hardwood floors in the hall and bedrooms, and original pine cabinets and hardware in the kitchen. It may have been built in the 1950's but there have been plenty of updates- HVAC (2024), hot water heater (2025), granite countertops in the kitchen, crawl space cleaned up and new v***r barrier installed and more. The treed yard is just over a half acre with a side entry driveway into the rear attached one car garage and parking area. A bright sunroom with skylights on the rear of the home features a charming porch and a view of the backyard. All of this in a super convenient location.

Hi, Bill ClenDening with Compass. We have a lot of information to manage in this crazy life, so understanding the dynamics of mortgage interest rates isn't something most of us spend a lot of time on. Just to skim the surface, as again, I have no expertise in mortgage rates or lending, market-driven factors include:
-Inflation
-Economic Growth
-Federal Reserve Policy
-Treasury Yields- including the 10 Year Treasury Note
and
-the Housing Market.
Personal factors will play a role in your specific mortgage financing.
Today's rates, however, per Mortgage News Daily's Rate Summary, are:
30 Year Fixed- 6.12%
15 year Fixed- 5.70%
30 year FHA- 5.69%
Have the recent mortgage rates affected your homebuying and selling strategies? I'd like to hear about your experience!
Have an amazing day!

Hi All, in my desire to be the best real estate professional I can be, I've spent some time studying feedback from the general public about their homebuying and home selling experiences. The overwhelmingly biggest complaints were not enough communication from their agent and a lack of expectations management. Although I try very hard to communicate well and manage expectations, I have two new tools in my repertoire. One of them is the Compass One platform which provides a seamless online customer experience, and the other is a robust and detailed Buyer's Guide. If you would like a copy of my free Buyer's Guide, just follow this link to my website, enter your contact info and you'll be able to view the flip book version of the guide and download the pdf. Just give me a call when you're ready to buy! Talk to you soon!
