ي entering سوق الإسكان الأمريكي في "تصحيح سكني كبير" بعد سنوات من التقلب. في 2026، incomes are rising faster than home prices in most markets, improving affordability despite mortgage rates staying elevated around 6%, down from nearly 7% in 2025. The 30‑year fixed rate saves roughly 260 dollars per month versus a 7% loan, but rates remain double 2021 levels. Median home prices are expected to climb 2‑4% to about 419,000‑427,000 dollars, a slowdown from double‑digit gains.
Existing home sales are forecast up 14% to 4.5M, while inventory is slowly improving but still below pre‑pandemic norms. Regional divergence is pronounced, with some areas seeing tighter supply and others stabilizing. For buyers, locking rates early and focusing on affordability metrics is key; sellers benefit from realistic pricing as price growth moderates.
The market’s new normal balances modest appreciation, higher rates, and gradual inventory recovery.
