Reading the Trend
Prices are correcting. For buyers this is the window in which asking prices become negotiable; for sellers, realistic pricing is what separates properties that sell from those that sit.
What to watch next month
- The next quarterly release of the house price index for the United States (Q2 2026 is the latest) — whether annual growth holds near +1.2%.
- Upcoming decisions by the Federal Reserve — any move from 3.63% feeds through to mortgage pricing within weeks.
What This Means for Buyers, Sellers and Investors
This is a buyer's window; vendors who need to sell are accepting lower offers, and waiting a further quarter has rarely cost buyers money in a correcting market.
Realistic pricing from day one is what separates listings that sell from listings that sit; chasing the market down costs more than pricing right initially.
Falling financing costs improve leveraged returns and widen the gap between yield and mortgage rate.
