National Market Update June 2026

 Here's what's happening in the housing market right now, in plain English:

✅ Good News for Buyers:
More homes are available compared to this time last year
Asking prices have dropped for 20 weeks in a row, sellers are pricing competitively from the start
Investor purchases just hit their lowest level since 2020 (down 6%) meaning less competition for everyday buyers like YOU
📈 What's Happening in the Economy:
Last week's strong jobs report pushed mortgage rates a bit higher
The Fed is holding steady, current rate is 3.50%-3.75% with only a ~38% chance of a cut by September
The stock market dipped (Dow -1.4%, S&P -2.6%, Nasdaq -4.2%), but the economy's fundamentals remain solid
👀 What to Watch This Week: Inflation data (CPI) and consumer sentiment reports drop this week, these will be the biggest clues about where rates and the market are headed for summer.
💡 Bottom Line: More inventory. Less investor competition. Motivated sellers. If you've been waiting for the right time to explore buying, this market is worth a serious look.
