Weekly Market

We saw some back-and-forth in the market this week. Rates had recently reached some of their lower levels, but we pulled back slightly over the past several days. As a result, borrowing costs rose slightly from last week. While the overall trend had been improving, this week was a reminder that markets don't move in a straight line.
Earlier gains were supported by softer inflation data and signs that the labor market is cooling gradually while remaining stable. At the same time, rising energy prices and mixed signals from the Fed created some uncertainty, which contributed to the recent pullback.
What does this mean for buyers?

The housing market is continuing to find more balance. We're seeing signs of improved inventory and more flexibility from sellers compared to last year. That can mean fewer bidding wars and more room to negotiate, even if rates ticked up slightly this week.
Purchase activity is slowly picking up as some buyers revisit plans they paused. Refinance activity remains quieter, with most homeowners waiting for a clearer move lower before making a change.

Weekly Snapshot
• Consumer Sentiment: 57.3
• Inflation Expectations: ~3.5% (1-year) / ~3.4% (long-run)
• Initial Jobless Claims: 206,000
• 10-Year Treasury Yield: 4.08%
Bottom line: while rates edged a bit higher this week, overall affordability conditions are still more constructive than they were late last year, and opportunities remain for buyers who are watching the market closely.

Realtor FYI

As of January 1, 2026, if you’re shopping for a home without your own real estate agent, we are no longer allowed to discuss negotiations, compensation, or any details related to the purchase of a property—including new builds—unless you sign a Buyer Representation Agreement.

If you choose not to commit to an agent, the agent showing you the property can only provide basic property information such as square footage, number of rooms, and features of the home. No guidance, no negotiation help, no purchase-related details.

Just a heads‑up so buyers know what to expect moving forward.

When you’re ready to purchase a home, working with a professional can help you meet your goals....
