Realtor.com Chief Economist Reveals The New 2026 Housing Forecast | KBP 172

Realtor.com Chief Economist on 2026 Housing Outlook, Rates, Affordability Debate & the Fed | KBP 144
Q: What are the main drivers of the 2026 forecast and how might they shift?
The forecast centers on relatively steady mortgage rates around the mid-6% range, a modest rise in home prices offset by inflation, and improving affordability driven by slower price growth and some income gains. However, potential changes in the labor market and economic strength could push rates and demand in different directions, necessitating adjustments to the model.
Realtor.com Chief Economist on 2026 Housing Outlook, Rates, Affordability Debate & the Fed | KBP 144
Q: What did you get right about 2025 and what factors drove those outcomes?
Danielle Hale explains that the model matched key metrics like mortgage-rate trends, existing home sales, and inventory movements, but emphasizes that judgment was used to adjust for affordability and pandemic-era anomalies. The team's emphasis on the balance between rates, affordability, and supply helped explain why 2025 outcomes aligned with forecasts.
