Analysts expect the long-awaited housing rebound to finally arrive in 2026, with home sales climbing in double digits as mortgage rates drift lower and demand that has been sidelined by affordability pressures starts to move back into the market, while prices continue to rise due to tight supply and steady employment.
Housing analysts are calling for a clear rebound in 2026, projecting roughly a 14% jump in nationwide home sales after a mostly flat 2025, with new-home sales also expected to rise next year. Early signs include more mortgage applications, steady job growth and continued builder activity, while the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is expected to ease to around 6% in 2026, down from an estimated 6.7% average this year. Home prices are not expected to fall at the national level; instead, median prices are projected to increase about 3% in 2025 and 4% in 2026, supported by strong labor markets and ongoing inventory shortages. The market will remain uneven—higher-priced segments are performing better, and first-time buyers are still struggling with affordability—but overall conditions look solid, with low delinquencies, strong homeowner equity and limited foreclosure pressure.
