🏡 Market Update: Is the Housing Market Finally Turning a Corner?
“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.” — Sun Tzu
The last two years brought the slowest home sales in 30 years — but we may be heading into a recovery. According to the latest NAR housing market forecast, experts predict a 6% rise in home sales by 2025, followed by 11% growth in 2026.
📉 Mortgage rates are expected to dip to 6.4% later this year, and 6.1% in 2026
💸 Home prices are still climbing: +3% in 2025, +4% in 2026
📈 Buyer demand is rising — especially from renters ready to own
📊 Wage growth is outpacing inflation for the first time in years
What does this mean for you?
If you’re thinking of selling your home, this could be the moment to start prepping. Buyers are watching the market closely.
If you’re looking to buy in the Bay Area, staying informed and pre-approved will help you move quickly as opportunities arise.
