The Mid-Year Housing Market Update: Why Forecasts Changed in 2026

The housing market hasn’t rebounded as quickly as experts originally hoped. But that doesn’t mean it’s stalled.

Higher inflation and lingering economic uncertainty caused economists to revise their forecasts for this year. But importantly, when those two things settle down, many experts believe the market will regain its momentum.

So don’t see this revision in forecasts as a sign of trouble. See it as a temporary reaction to overall conditions and uncertainty.

If you want to know what’s happening in our local market, and what it could mean for your plans for the rest of this year, let’s connect.

What Rising Inflation Means for Your Move

Wondering what this means for your specific situation? Reach out today. Let's cut through the noise together and make a plan that actually works for you.

PENDING in Ferndale! 🔥

This one was incredibly special for so many reasons ❤️

My seller has owned this home since the 1980s and raised her children here, so naturally, this home holds decades of memories and meaning.

During the open house, one buyer walked through and became emotional because the home reminded him so much of his own childhood home. You could instantly tell there was a genuine connection to the house.

After navigating multiple offers and negotiating between the two, my seller was able to go under contract at a great price while also passing her home over to a buyer who truly saw the heart in it 🙌

Moments like this are a reminder that real estate is about so much more than just contracts and numbers. Sometimes a house simply feels like home. 🫶

If you are thinking about selling, the right strategy and exposure can make all the difference in finding the right buyer for your home.
