2026 looks to be a good year to buy or sell. Prices and rates are stable and people still need a place to live.
Here’s some helpful truisms in the 2026 real estate market:
- Realistic monthly payments* for the year:
- $500k house = $3,283.00 per month
- $1 million = $7,388.00 per month
- $1.5 million = $11,392.00 per month
- Updates or refreshing your house now costs three times what you think it will be.
- The need for staging is in direct proportion to the asking price.
- You have to work extremely hard to find just a few attractive homes until inventory levels increase.
- Commissions are not as negotiable as they should be.
- There’s not a house in perfect condition. Build some wiggle room into your expectations.
