What Buyers Say They Need Most (And How the Market’s Responding)

Both of the top concerns for buyers are seeing some movement. Prices are moderating. Rates are easing. And both trends could stick around going into 2026.

If you’re considering a move, let’s connect walk you through what’s happening in our area – and what it means for your plans.

A recent survey from Bank of America asked would-be homebuyers what would help them feel better about making a move, and it’s no surprise the answers have a clear theme.

What would make you feel more comfortable making a move?

63% of would-be homebuyers say lower home prices.
50% say lower mortgage rates.

If that’s what you want too, here’s the update you’ve been looking for.

Experts are projecting single-digit price increases in many markets this year. Some areas will even experience slight declines. That’s a far cry from the 20% rise we saw just a few years ago.

At the same time, mortgage rates have eased from their recent highs.

While it’s not enough to completely change the game on affordability, both trends should stick around going into 2026.

Saving to buy a home? Don’t forget your closing costs.

They’re not the same everywhere. In some states they average roughly $2-3K. In others, nearly $20K.

This map shows the state averages. Use it as a ballpark for your budget, but be sure to work with a local agent and lender to get your real number before you start shopping. Because it depends on taxes where you live, the home’s price, and more.

DM me if you want an estimate on what you can expect to pay in our area. Or, if you’re looking for tips on how to bring that number down.
