Mortgage rates have already dropped into the upper 5s twice this year. But after just a few days, they ticked back up into the low 6% range.

If you’re planning to buy a home this year, you may be focused on the spring market.

If you’re one of the thousands of homebuyers waiting for rates to fall, you should know it’s already happening.

Wondering what to expect from the housing market in 2026? You’re not the only one.

If you’re like a lot of homeowners, you’ve probably thought: “I’d like to move… but I don’t want to give up my 3% rate.”

After several years of high mortgage rates and hesitation from buyers, momentum is quietly building beneath the surface of the housing market.

A lot of buyers are stuck in “wait and see” mode right now.

Mortgage rates have been the monster under the bed for a while. Every time they tick up, people flinch and say, “Maybe I’ll wait.” But here’s the twist. Waiting for that perfect 5-point-something rate could end up haunting your wallet later.

If you paused your plans to move because of high rates or prices, it may finally be time to take a second look at your numbers.

After a couple of years where the housing market felt stuck in neutral, 2026 may be the year things shift back into gear.
