According to late Q3 data, 30-year mortgage rates remain in the high-6% range and are likely to stick around through 2026. Pending listings are down 2.6% year over year, and while new listings dipped 7.9% month-over-month to 356,900, active listings now sit at 1.41 million. The typical monthly payment? $1,900, which is up 2% from last year.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s keeping prices from dropping? Limited distressed selling continues to support values, and most metros are seeing either modest gains or a flat market. Recent shifts in daily lending rates show the market adjusting, with economists pointing to weak sales and high financial thresholds\u2014signs of a soft landing on the horizon for 2026.<\/p>\n<p>For buyers with flexible timing, opportunity is out there, especially since inventory varies from state to state. If you\u2019re ready to make a move, early pre-approval remains your strongest game plan in this market. For current homeowners, keep an eye out for refinancing openings as the landscape evolves. After 35 years in the business and nearly a decade among the nation\u2019s top brokers, I know these cycles well\u2014success is about timing, preparation, and knowing how to spot the right window.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like we\u2019ve reached a stabilization point in US home values\u2014a phase that\u2019s less about big swings and more about holding steady.
