U.S. Housing Market Rebalances Slowly
We're seeing the U.S. housing market continue its slow, steady rebalancing—no dramatic swings, just the kind of measured pace that makes for smoother experiences on both sides of the transaction. Active inventory is up about 4% compared to last year, though the pace of growth has eased for the first time in over a month. That means buyers are starting to catch a little more breathing room, but there’s no sudden jump in homes flooding the market.

Homes are spending an average of 61 days on the market, unchanged from last year and lining up with what we typically see as summer winds down. New listings are down about 1% from a year ago, returning us to levels similar to 2025—a sign that some buyers are still pausing for affordability, while some sellers hold back, unsure if now is the right time to test prices. Median listing price sits at $419,000 (down about 1% year-over-year), and median price per square foot has dipped to $222, the lowest we’ve seen since early this year.

With more inventory and higher mortgage rates, we’re seeing conditions slowly shift toward buyers, but the overall rhythm is still on the slow side—no rapid-fire changes, just a market that’s finding its balance. After nearly three decades and hundreds of closings in Los Angeles County, we’ve learned how important it is to keep things steady and stress-free for our clients, whether you’re buying your first place or making your next big move.

The best and worst states for first-time home buyer assistance in 2026
Navigating first-time homebuyer assistance in 2026 can feel overwhelming, especially since every state offers something a little different.

Friendly, straightforward advice and a clear understanding of your options can make all the difference as you weigh what’s available and choose the support that fits your needs.

Fed Raises Key Rate to 3.75%-4%
The Federal Reserve just raised its key rate by 0.25%, bringing it to 3.75%-4%—the first increase since July 2023. With inflation still above their 2% target, officials are hinting that another hike could be in the cards this year. The next opportunity for them to revisit rates and the broader economy will be at their October 27-28, 2026 meeting.

For homeowners and those thinking of buying or selling, changes like these can feel like another layer to navigate.
