Realtor.com says September 27–October 3 is expected to bring the best combination of buyer-friendly conditions in 2026. ⁠
⁠

Sticker shock keeping you on the sidelines? 🌇Condos might help.⁠
⁠
The median condo sold for $380,000 in June, while the median single-family home went for $446,400. That's a gap of more than $66,000.⁠
⁠
Part of that is because condos are usually smaller. But that's exactly the point. Smaller square footage can mean a smaller price tag.⁠
⁠

⁠
For a lot of buyers, especially first-timer buyers, a condo or townhome is the difference between waiting and owning.⁠
