NAHB Research Finds Three States Lead Q1 2026 Remodeling Activity
It’s always fascinating to see which states are driving the U.S. remodeling market—and the latest NAHB research puts California, Texas, and Florida at the top for Q1 2026 activity. California, in particular, stands out with 8% of the market, representing $22.2 billion in remodeling volume. Even with some states experiencing periods of negative growth, overall inflation-adjusted spending in the sector jumped by more than 10% from 2023 to 2025—a surge fueled in large part by rising home equity. As someone who’s spent decades helping investors navigate property acquisition and portfolio growth—from single-family flips to complex 1031 exchanges across the country—I see firsthand how these trends open doors for those who know where to look. Florida’s strong showing is especially meaningful for me, both as a local broker and as someone who’s invested in the area. The landscape continues to evolve, and for those considering their next move, understanding where the activity is concentrated can be key to making smart, forward-thinking decisions.

The most affordable beach towns Americans are moving to on the Gulf Coast
As someone who’s spent decades guiding investors through smart real estate decisions—and who now calls the Gulf Coast home—I’m always tracking where value meets lifestyle. From Texas to Florida, there are still beach towns offering median home prices between $146,000 and $380,000. These communities don’t just provide sandy shores; they also feature diverse local economies and a surprising degree of affordability, even with the realities of hurricane risk and rising insurance costs. Personally, my own move to Apalachicola began with a single visit—proof that sometimes the best investment is one you can live in and enjoy. For those considering a 1031 exchange or simply looking for that blend of relaxation and opportunity, the Gulf Coast’s affordable towns continue to catch my eye.

Cheaper Mortgages Won’t Fix US Housing
Having spent nearly four decades immersed in the real estate world—from my first deal to advising clients on 1031 exchanges nationwide—I’ve seen firsthand that affordable financing alone doesn’t solve our housing challenges. Recent federal policy is finally acknowledging what many of us on the ground have long known: the real hurdle is supply. When there simply aren’t enough homes in the places people want to live, tweaking mortgage rates might shift who can buy, but it doesn’t expand the pool of available properties.

The new law’s most meaningful changes promote manufactured housing, incentivize communities to encourage development, and break down the barriers that stall or inflate the cost of new builds. Studies consistently show that making borrowing easier often drives up prices more than it actually increases homeownership—especially in markets where zoning or permitting restricts new construction.

For investors and homeowners alike, the central lesson is clear: if we want true affordability, we must focus on increasing the number of homes, not just making loans cheaper. It’s a perspective shaped by years of guiding clients through strategic acquisitions and navigating the realities of supply and demand—one that I believe will serve our communities and portfolios for years to come.

US Buyers See More Builder Incentives
Builder confidence in the US held steady at 35 in late Q2, marking the 14th consecutive month below 40—a clear sign that affordability challenges, high costs, and mortgage rates are still weighing heavily on the market. What stands out from my perspective, after decades guiding investors through 1031 exchanges and portfolio growth, is the sharp uptick in builder incentives: over 60% of builders offered sales incentives in late Q2, and about 35% cut their prices, with average reductions of around 6% for new-home buyers. This is meaningful for investors and buyers alike, given the persistent US housing shortage of roughly 1.2 million homes. Industry leaders expect this cautious sentiment to linger until we see real movement on lowering building barriers. Regulations, taxes, fees, and related costs are now estimated to add over 25% to the average price of a single-family home—underscoring just how much targeted reform could help. With current sales conditions at 38, future sales at 45, and buyer traffic holding at 25, the climate remains measured. For those navigating acquisitions or considering their next 1031 exchange, understanding these shifts is key to making informed decisions in a market that’s still finding its footing.

Home price growth widens as markets split along wealth lines
The latest data on U.S. single-family home prices paints a familiar picture for those of us who track investment trends closely: a 0.8% year-over-year rise this May, with growth patterns splitting along lines of wealth and geography. Interior states are leading the charge, while coastal markets continue to benefit from surging tech wealth, and the Sun Belt finds renewed stability. With a national annual gain of 4.8% projected, it’s clear our market is as dynamic as ever.

For investors navigating these shifts, understanding how regional trends and wealth flows influence property values is essential—especially when planning a 1031 exchange or expanding a portfolio. Over 37 years in this field, I’ve seen cycles come and go, but the fundamentals endure: strategic timing and location matter. Having made my own investments from coast to coast and now calling Apalachicola home, I know firsthand how local and national forces intersect. Stay informed, and let’s keep building smart, resilient portfolios together.
