The Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady this year, though a 6% mortgage rate could make homeownership possible for 5.5 million more U.S. households, according to NAR. While buyers hope for lower rates, the 30-year fixed remains around 6.72%. NAR projects that rates could fall to 6% by 2026, potentially boosting home sales by 14%. Meanwhile, housing inventory is rising, offering buyers more options and bargaining power. First-time buyers are slowly returning, and all-cash purchases—especially by baby boomers—remain strong. Migration trends, especially in the South and Midwest, point to new growth markets. NAR’s new Metro Market Statistics Dashboard helps agents identify local equity trends and opportunities. While inflation and labor market concerns persist, the Fed is expected to begin cutting rates within the next year. Until then, buyers and professionals alike should watch the market closely and act strategically to stay ahead of shifting trends.
