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.

If the housing market feels confusing right now, you’re not alone.

So excited for my seller! After careful preparation, strategic pricing, and a competitive marketing campaign, their home listed at $595,000 and closed at $830,000 - a whopping $235,000 over asking price for a 3 bedroom, 2.1 bath home in Verona. The market is still rewarding well-prepared homes with the right pricing and marketing strategy. Congratulations to my seller on this fantastic outcome!


Stay tuned for next week's Montclair listing.

Data shows inflation is moving in the wrong direction. But before the headlines send anyone into a panic, here's what's actually going on, why it matters for the housing market, and what it means if you're thinking about buying or selling.
