With mortgage rates on a steady climb amid global economic uncertainty following the start of the war in Iran, it is hard for millions of aspiring homebuyers squeezed to the sidelines of the market by years of rising housing costs to see a way out of the ongoing affordability crisis.

It might be hard to see improvement in the U.S. housing market, but some things are moving in a positive direction for buyers.

There's a type of home on the market that could save you nearly 30% of its original listing value in 2026. Realtor.com's new report looks into foreclosed homes-and as they're lowering in price, these listings are also rising in popularity with buyers. So far, they've also been netting over 26% more page views than the average listing in 2026, which isn't surprising, given their lower-than-average prices.

If you're thinking about taking advantage of these types of deals in 2026, here's what you need to know...

It's well-documented that color has a strong impact on psychology. Not only that, but it also affects our depth perception. That's why paint is a valuable tool when prepping your house for the market. The hues you choose to dress your home can affect how potential buyers feel in a space, whether that's at ease and free, or on edge and claustrophobic.

Updating your home’s paint is a small chore, but choosing the wrong color could cost you thousands when it comes time to sell.

Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed again in July as record prices and the highest mortgage rates in a year prove to be an insurmountable hurdle for many prospective homebuyers.

Existing home sales fell 1.7% last month from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. That's slightly above the 4.05 million pace economists were expecting, according to FactSet.
