Big changes are happening in real estate.

On a recent episode of The INSIDERS on Real Estate & Marketing podcast, Marc Miller and Autumn Bane joined host Sandy Hibbard to break down the new FinCEN Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule that took effect March 1, 2026.

They discussed some of the biggest questions agents and buyers are asking right now:

• What is FinCEN and why does it matter?
• Who is responsible for reporting?
• What qualifies as a non-financed transfer?
• Will buyers have to provide additional information?
• Is the information public?

If you’re in real estate and want to understand how these new rules affect transactions, this is an important conversation to hear.

🎧 Listen to the episode and stay informed.

After several years of tight inventory and intense competition, we’re starting to see a meaningful shift in the housing market.

According to recent data from Realtor.com, the number of homes available for sale this January reached the highest level we’ve seen since 2020. While we’re not fully back to pre-pandemic norms nationwide, the direction is encouraging—and it’s already changing the experience for many buyers.

When inventory increases, everything feels different. Buyers gain time to make decisions, more options to choose from, and a bit of negotiating power. That’s a welcome change from the fast-paced, high-pressure environment we’ve seen in recent years.

What’s especially interesting is how quickly some markets are rebounding. About a year ago, only 41 of the 200 largest metro areas had returned to typical inventory levels. By the end of the year, that number had more than doubled to around 90 markets. That’s a significant shift in a relatively short time.

And the outlook suggests more improvement ahead. Forecasts indicate housing inventory could grow another 10% this year, potentially bringing national levels back in line with what we saw between 2017 and 2019.

What does that mean in practical terms?
A more balanced market.
More choices for buyers.
And a transaction environment that feels a little less rushed and a lot more manageable.

At Secured Title of Texas, we see these shifts play out in real time across the closing table. As the market evolves, preparation, communication, and strong partnerships between agents, lenders, and title professionals become even more important.

If you’re buying, selling, or advising clients this year, it’s a good time to stay informed and be ready for a more balanced market environment.

Planning to buy a house?

With mortgage rates stabilizing (not skyrocketing), today’s homebuyers are being incentivized to negotiate smarter—not faster.

Here’s one tip I’m sharing with buyers right now:

👉 Don’t focus only on the price—focus on the terms.
In today’s market, sellers are often more flexible with closing costs, rate buy-downs, and repair credits than they were just a year ago. Those concessions can make a meaningful difference in your monthly payment and long-term affordability.

At Secured Title of Texas, we’re seeing successful buyers come in prepared, informed, and surrounded by the right professionals early in the process.

Smart planning today leads to smoother closings tomorrow.
