Pending home sales rose 1.5% in March from February, a positive sign for the housing market despite climbing mortgage rates and soaring gas prices from the Iran war, according to NAR. "A greater supply of inventory will help translate that demand into more home sales," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, who added that new construction should focus on smaller, more affordable starter homes to reach first-time buyers most squeezed by rate fluctuations.

Mortgage rates jumped to 6.11% for the week ending March 12, up from 6% the prior week and the largest weekly increase since April 2025, as market volatility from the Iran conflict offset mild jobs and inflation data, according to Freddie Mac.

Rates remain well below the 6.65% average from the same period last year. "Buyers are responding to rates in this range," said Freddie Mac chief economist Sam Khater, noting existing-home sales rose 1.7% in February and purchase applications climbed this week.

Housing affordability is expected to take center stage in 2026, with President Donald Trump promising to announce "the most aggressive housing reform in history" early in the new year.

The crisis has strained the market for three years, pushing home sales to 30-year lows and driving the typical first-time buyer’s age to a record 40.

A new analysis finds that restoring 2019 affordability—when mortgage payments averaged 21% of median income, versus more than 30% today—would require one unlikely shift: mortgage rates falling to 2.65%, incomes rising 56% to $132,171, or home prices dropping 35% to $273,000. While none are expected in 2026, the data highlights how far the market remains from pre-pandemic affordability.
