Home prices are stable, rates have improved from last summer, and affordability is better than it's been in a year. Here's what it all means for buyers and sellers this season.

If you've been paying attention to real estate headlines this summer, you've probably noticed they can't seem to agree on much. One says the market is slowing down. The next says prices are climbing. Someone on the news is still predicting a crash, and meanwhile, your neighbor just sold their house in a week.

So what's actually going on?

I pulled the latest national data to cut through some of that noise, because the real story this summer is actually pretty straightforward once you look at the numbers.

Home prices are steady. The national median home price is sitting at $417,800 right now, which is up less than 1% from last summer. That's a far cry from the double-digit jumps we saw during the pandemic, and it's not a correction either.

We're in a period of genuine stability. Prices do tend to peak during the summer months, and that seasonal pattern is holding, but the days of runaway appreciation pricing people out of the market are behind us for now. Whether you're buying or selling, steady prices give you room to make a thoughtful decision instead of a reactive one.

Rates are better than they were a year ago. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate is averaging around 6.5%, down from nearly 7% last summer. That might not sound like a dramatic shift, but it's brought a meaningful number of buyers back into the market.

Every fraction of a point changes what someone can comfortably afford on a monthly payment, and that improvement has been enough to get people off the sidelines. Nobody expects rates to return to the 3% range anytime soon, but the gradual downward trend has been one of the more encouraging developments of 2026.

"Through all of that noise, real estate has remained remarkably steady."

Affordability has actually improved. This is the part that surprises people. Even with prices at a record high, homes are more affordable than they were a year ago, because wages have been growing faster than home prices. The national affordability index has climbed to 102.3, up from 95.5 last summer, and it has improved in every region of the country.

Inventory is sitting at about 4.6 months of supply, which is roughly where it was a year ago and still below the 5 to 6 months most economists consider balanced. So buyers aren't drowning in options. But their buying power has gone up, and that's a real shift. For sellers, that means demand is still there, but pricing correctly matters. Well-positioned homes are still selling. Overpriced homes are sitting.

The broader economy is confusing, but real estate isn't. This is the part that trips a lot of people up. Consumer confidence is low. Energy prices have been climbing. Global conflicts are creating uncertainty in ways that feel unpredictable. And yet the stock market keeps hitting new highs. The signals seem contradictory, and that makes people hesitant.

But through all of that noise, real estate has remained remarkably steady. Homes are still selling, prices are holding, and the fundamentals that drive housing, people needing places to live, and not enough homes to go around, haven't changed.

Those are the national numbers, and they paint a pretty clear picture. But national data only tells you so much. The market in your neighborhood, in your price range, and for your specific situation can look very different from the headlines.

If you want to know what the real numbers look like where you are, I'm happy to walk you through it so you're making decisions based on what's actually happening, not what someone said on the news.

Not every upgrade pays off when it's time to sell. Here's where to spend your money, what to skip, and how to get the best return on your investment this summer.

Summer is here, and if you're thinking about selling your home, you've probably been looking around your house, wondering what's worth fixing up. Should you redo the kitchen? Repaint the exterior? Finally finish that half-done project in the garage?

Here's the truth: the most expensive upgrades are rarely the ones that pay off the most. And the ones that do pay off might surprise you. Before you spend a dollar on renovations, here are three things every seller should know in 2026.

1. Skip the expensive mistakes. It's tempting to go all-in on a high-end kitchen remodel or luxury landscaping, but the numbers tell a different story. According to the latest Cost vs. Value Report, a major upscale kitchen remodel returns just 36% of what you put in. That means for every $10,000 you spend, you're adding less than $4,000 to your home's sale price. And the worst mistake of all? Leaving a project half-finished. Buyers want homes that feel clean, complete, and ready to move into. A missing cabinet door or an unfinished tile job signals neglect, and that impression follows buyers through every room in the house. If you start a project, finish it. An incomplete upgrade can cost you more than no upgrade at all.

"That missing cabinet door or half-done tile job could end up costing you more than no upgrade at all."

2. Focus on first impressions. This is where your money really counts. Curb appeal projects continue to dominate the highest returns year after year, and the latest data is no different. A garage door replacement is returning up to 268% ROI, making it the single highest-return project in the country for the second straight year. A new steel entry door returns about 216%, and manufactured stone veneer is averaging around 153%. Inside, a minor kitchen remodel, think new countertops, updated fixtures, and fresh cabinet fronts, is returning about 113%. Compare that to the 36% on the major remodel, and the message is clear: small, strategic upgrades beat big renovations almost every time. Beyond the kitchen, you can also clean up the yard, replace worn carpet, and repaint with light, neutral tones. Buyers decide how they feel about a home within seconds of pulling into the driveway, so make those seconds count.

3. Don't cut corners on the contractor. Hiring the right contractor can make or break your project. Start by asking friends, neighbors, or local online groups for referrals. You can also check the Better Business Bureau's directory to verify a contractor's history, ratings, and any complaints. Once you have a few names, get at least three written quotes, confirm they're licensed and insured, and ask to see photos of their recent work. A solid contractor will help you stay on budget, give honest recommendations, and get the job done right the first time. And before any work begins, get everything in writing. A clear contract that outlines the scope, timeline, costs, and payment schedule protects both sides and prevents the kind of miscommunication that turns a simple project into an expensive headache.

Let's put together a plan to get you the best return this summer.

The headlines made it sound like everything changed. Here's what actually happened, what didn't, and what it means for buyers and sellers right now.

If the last time you bought or sold a home was before 2024, the process looks a little different now. Not dramatically different, but different enough that you should know what changed before you're in the middle of a transaction.

Back in 2024, the National Association of Realtors settled a major lawsuit that changed how buyer's agent commissions are handled. It was all over the news at the time, and the headlines were dramatic. Buyers thought they were going to have to pay their agent out of pocket on top of their down payment. Sellers thought they were going to save thousands by not covering the buyer's agent fee anymore. And then most people stopped following the story. They heard the headline, formed an opinion, and moved on.

The problem is, a lot of what stuck with people was either incomplete or just not how things are playing out. Here's what's actually happening.

1. What actually changed. The old system had the buyer's agent commission built into every MLS listing. That part went away. Buyer agent compensation can no longer be advertised on the MLS. And if you're a buyer working with an agent, you now sign a written agreement before touring homes that lays out what the agent charges and what services are included.

But here's the part most people missed: sellers can still offer to pay the buyer's agent. That didn't go away. The rule changed where and how the conversation happens, not whether it happens at all. And right now, sellers are still covering the buyer's agent fee in most transactions. The commission collapse that everyone predicted never materialized. According to Clever Real Estate's 2026 survey, buyer agent fees dipped briefly after the settlement and then rebounded. The total average commission in 2026 sits at about 5.70%.

"The rules changed, but the fundamentals didn't."

2. What this means if you're buying. The biggest change you'll notice is the written agreement. Before you start touring homes with an agent, you'll sign something that spells out the fee and what you're getting. In most cases, your agent can negotiate the seller's contribution to cover that cost as part of your offer. It works like asking for closing cost help, which buyers have been doing for years. The paperwork looks a little different, but the end result is usually the same.

And the data shows that buyers still want representation. According to the NAR 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 88% of buyers purchased through an agent or broker. That number held steady after the rule change. People still want someone helping them find the right home, negotiate terms, and catch issues they might miss.

3. What this means if you're selling. You're no longer required to offer buyer agent compensation. But before you decide to skip it, consider what that looks like from the buyer's perspective. When buyers have to come up with an extra 2.5% to 3% out of pocket to have someone represent them, a lot of them will look at listings where the seller is covering it instead. That usually means fewer showings, a smaller buyer pool, and a longer time on market, which typically leads to a lower sale price. The money you thought you were saving often ends up costing more on the back end.

The sellers getting the best results right now are the ones working with their agent to figure out the smartest approach for their specific situation and making sure their home is positioned to attract as many buyers as possible.

The bottom line. The rules changed, but the fundamentals didn't. Buyers still want representation. Sellers still benefit from having as many qualified buyers as possible walking through their door. The commission conversation is still a negotiation, not a fixed cost. The only real difference is more transparency, and that's a good thing for everyone.

If you haven't been through the process since these changes went into effect and you're thinking about making a move, it's worth a quick conversation so you know exactly how things work now.

The ‘best time’ to sell your home isn't as straightforward as it used to be. Timing isn't just about the season anymore; it’s about strategy.

Every year, homeowners ask me the same question: “Do I really need to wait until spring to get the best price for my home?” By 2026, that answer has changed more than you might think.

How the housing market evolved throughout the years. Back in 2021 and 2022, timing didn’t matter much; homes were selling in days. Fast forward to 2024 and 2025, and buyers were more focused on interest rates and affordability.

Now, looking ahead to 2026, things are shifting again. This year, the key factor isn’t the season; it’s your competition.

What experts are predicting about the 2026 housing market. Several forecasts suggest a 2026 housing rebound. The National Association of Realtors anticipates a market comeback as interest rates ease, boosting buyer confidence. National projections indicate that home sales could jump nearly 10% as more buyers re-enter the market. More buyers are great, but that also means more sellers.

So, many people are wondering if they should wait for spring. Sure, spring is busy, but busy works both ways: you get more buyers but also more listings. 

According to Redfin’s 2026 outlook, today’s buyers are more price-sensitive and selective than ever. Timing your sale isn’t just about choosing the busiest season anymore; it’s about standing out in a crowded market.

Here are three key insights you should know:

1. Consider selling in low-competition months. In many neighborhoods in 2026, January and February could actually serve as strong selling windows. This is because inventory tends to be low, yet serious homebuyers remain active, especially those who didn’t find a home last fall.

When competition is low, quality homes have the opportunity to stand out. In contrast, a crowded market can cause even excellent properties to get overlooked. Therefore, if you're ready to sell, the best time might be right now.

"In 2026, low competition months may give you a stronger selling advantage than spring."

2. Follow your local market. National news talks a lot about mortgage rates and trends, but it's your local neighborhood that tells the real story. Some areas are heating up due to job growth, new development, or migration, while others may be cooling down as inventory builds.

To identify your ideal selling window, pay attention to:

● Days on market in your ZIP code

● Active inventory trends

● The speed at which homes like yours are getting showings

● What buyers are prioritizing right now

In 2026, local data trumps the generalized idea that “spring is best” every time.

3. Strategic pricing beats perfect timing. Homebuyers are more selective and value-conscious. They're comparing homes, scrutinizing conditions, and waiting for the right value. This means a well-priced listing in January often performs better than an overpriced listing in April. To succeed, focus on:

● Strong pricing

● Impactful presentation

● A compelling marketing launch

● A strategic timing window in your area

That combination works well at any time of the year, and right now, it may be even more effective.

If you're thinking about selling in 2026, now is the perfect time to start planning. I’d be happy to walk you through your market, your options, and the smartest timing based on your goals.

You need to focus on what buyers notice first, such as curb appeal and a clutter-free interior.

What small details could make or break a buyer’s first impression of your home? Selling your home is exciting, but it also takes preparation. Before you list, making sure your home is market-ready is key to attracting serious buyers and getting the best price. With the right steps, you can make your home stand out, sell faster, and even enjoy the process.

Here’s how to get started.

1. Clean and declutter. This first step is simple but powerful. Buyers need to picture themselves living in the space, and that is hard to do if there is clutter or too many personal items around. Start by removing extra furniture and personal photos. Make sure surfaces, carpets, and windows are spotless so your home looks fresh and inviting.

If you can, hire a professional cleaner or organizer. This small investment can make a huge difference and really help your home stand out.

2. Make your home move-in ready. Take a good look at both the inside and outside of your home. Fix minor repairs like leaky faucets, cracked tiles, or peeling paint. These small fixes show buyers that your home has been cared for.

Curb appeal is also important. Mow the lawn, trim the bushes, plant some flowers, and freshen up the front door with a coat of paint. Even cleaning your driveway or patio can make a big difference. You might also consider a pre-inspection to catch any issues before buyers do. When your home feels ready to move into, it attracts more serious offers.

"Preparing your home carefully before listing helps it sell faster, for more money, and with less stress."

3. Stage the home. Staging your home helps buyers see its potential. You don’t have to hire a professional, although it can help. At a minimum, rearrange furniture so the flow and functionality of each room are clear. If your furniture is outdated, renting modern, neutral pieces can make a space feel fresh.

Use light, neutral colors whenever possible, and make sure the home is well-lit. A bright, inviting space feels larger and more welcoming. Good staging helps buyers imagine themselves living in your home and increases their interest.

4. Price correctly. Once your home is looking great, pricing it right is the most important step. If the price is too high, buyers may pass it over. If it is too low, you won’t get the full value of your home.

5. Partner with a real estate agent. Preparing, staging, and pricing your home all work best when they are guided by the right professional. A good real estate agent helps you decide which updates matter most, where to focus your time and money, and how to position your home to attract the strongest buyers.

Beyond preparation, an experienced agent manages marketing, showings, feedback, and negotiations, while keeping the process on track and reducing stress. They advocate for you at every step and help protect your bottom line.

A local real estate expert can also help you analyze recent sales, market trends, and buyer demand to set a competitive price. Knowing your neighborhood and the current market is key to getting the best return.

When your home is well-prepared, priced strategically, and supported by a knowledgeable local agent, you put yourself in the strongest position for a successful sale.

With the right strategy, some simple updates, and smart staging, the process can be smooth and even enjoyable. If you’re ready to get started or have questions about pricing, staging, or marketing, give me a call or send me a message to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Commercial real estate transactions are rarely simple — and legacy properties are often the most complex of all.

Santa Fe Realty Unlimited recently represented the sale of a mobile home park consisting of 32 trailer spaces, two apartments, and an additional residential structure, owned by the same family since the 1960s.

This was an owner-operated property with more than 30 tenants, a community water system, a community gas system, decades of incomplete documentation, deferred maintenance, and ownership that had remained unchanged for over 80 years.

In addition to the physical and operational complexities, the transaction required a highly personal approach. The sellers did not rely on technology. Every document was reviewed in person. Every signature was made with a pen on paper. Progress happened through face-to-face meetings and careful explanation not emails and e-signatures.

From a brokerage standpoint, this required far more than simply listing the property. The role expanded to include mediation, advisory services, problem-solving, and ongoing follow-up to ensure momentum continued without overwhelming the sellers.

Despite a 2025 appraisal, Santa Fe Realty Unlimited effectively positioned the property in the market and negotiated a sale approximately 25% above the appraised value. This outcome not only exceeded expectations but also supported long-term family planning tied to a trust established for a family member’s lifelong care.

This sale reflects a broader trend we’re seeing across Santa Fe: generational and dynasty properties transitioning to new ownership as baby boomers age and the next generation chooses not to take over operations.

The commercial market remains strong for investors, particularly when properties are guided through the process by experienced local brokers who understand both the numbers and the human side of legacy ownership.

If you’re thinking about selling your home this year, you’ve probably checked its value using tools like Zillow or Redfin. These apps promise quick estimates based on data and algorithms, and they’re getting better every year. But here’s the big question: can you really trust AI to price your most valuable asset accurately?

Before you list your home with an AI price estimate, you need to hear this: 

I recently worked with a client just outside of town who was ready to sell their four-bedroom home in a competitive market and decided to use an AI tool for a pricing estimate. AI pulled data from recent sales nearby, adjusted for square footage, and looked at market trends. It estimated their home’s value at $620,000.

However, it missed some key features: a $70,000 kitchen renovation with high-end appliances, a full smart-home upgrade, and a prime location on a quiet cul-de-sac with greenbelt views. None of these factors was reflected in the AI estimate.

After I walked through the property and analyzed local buyer demand, we listed the home at $685,000 and received multiple offers within days. That’s a $65,000 difference between the AI estimate and the actual market value.

So, let’s break down what these tools do well, where they fall short, and how to ensure your pricing strategy helps you avoid losing out on thousands.

What AI does well in home valuation. AI tools have come a long way by 2025. They pull in tons of data from public records, MLS sales, and even tax info to give you a quick estimate of your home’s value.

If you’re in a neighborhood with cookie-cutter houses, like a suburban subdivision where every home’s got a similar vibe, these tools can be pretty spot-on. They’re awesome for getting a ballpark figure without picking up the phone to call an agent. Plus, they’re always learning, tweaking their numbers based on stuff like interest rates and market trends. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s a solid starting point.

"AI can crunch data in seconds, but it can’t walk through your house."

Where AI misses the mark. Despite their strengths, AI tools have notable blind spots. They can’t physically tour your home to assess unique upgrades, like a $40,000 basement turned home theater or breathtaking mountain views.

It also struggles in markets with diverse or limited sales data, like older neighborhoods, custom builds, or rural spots. In fast-changing markets, AI often lags, relying on past sales rather than current buyer behavior. A 2025 survey of real estate pros found that 87% think AI undervalues homes with unique features or upgrades, which could mean fewer buyers or lowball offers for you.

AI valuations can influence buyer expectations. AI-driven estimates don’t just affect sellers; they affect homebuyers, too. If Zillow or Redfin says your home’s value is less than your asking price, buyers may assume your home is overpriced, even if your price is spot-on. This kind of mismatch can lead to fewer showings, lower offers, or unnecessary negotiations.

Setting clear expectations through strategic pricing and marketing is essential to counteract these effects and keep your sales on track.

Why local real estate agents still rule. AI’s only as good as the data it has, and that data isn’t always up to speed. A new development down the road or a big community project boosting your neighborhood’s appeal? AI might not know about it yet, but a local agent does. We’re out there seeing what’s selling, what’s sitting, and what buyers are buzzing about at open houses. That kind of real-time, boots-on-the-ground insight gives human expertise an edge that no algorithm can match.

What’s the best strategy to get your home’s true value? Simply put, just use both AI and ask for help from a local expert. Having a local real estate agent help you with your pricing will be one of your best decisions if you want to get more for your home. AI is a great starting point, but it shouldn’t be your only pricing tool. Top agents combine data-driven tools with real-time feedback and local knowledge. 

We use AI for broad trends and human experience for the details that actually drive offers. Remember: Getting the price right isn’t just about numbers, it’s about understanding what makes your home stand out today.

Discover the science behind float therapy, its rising popularity, and how it creates lucrative business opportunities.

Have you ever considered how a unique business can stand out in today’s market? Let me tell you about my recent experience at Grey Matter, specifically their float spa, which left me feeling not just relaxed but also inspired about the business opportunities in this niche.

As a real estate expert, I know that selling something is easier when you fully understand it. So, I decided to experience what a float spa has to offer. 

Here’s my experience trying out the float spa: 

Walking in, I was immediately struck by the clean, spa-like reception area, complete with information about the benefits of floating. Soon, I was in my assigned float room, which had a pillow, shower towels, and the main event: the float pod. 

This thing is filled with an incredible 1,500 pounds of Epsom salt, which creates the feeling of weightlessness. Before hopping in, I had to take a quick shower with shampoo and body wash, as required.

As I floated, I was surprised at how quickly I became aware of the tension in my upper back and shoulders. The quiet environment made it easy to focus on my thoughts, and I came up with a game plan for some business challenges I’d been facing.

After my hour-long session, I got out, and the machine immediately went into self-cleaning mode, sterilizing the water with UV light and filters. It even does this every six hours when there are no sessions, just to keep everything pristine. I also checked out the control panel for the "starlight" feature, a backlight, and some really cool "trance-type" music.

"This isn't just for physical relief; you can also use it for mental relaxation, especially if you’re dealing with grief or loss."

Why should you consider investing in a float spa like Grey Matter? The wellness industry is booming, and float therapy provides a unique offering that can attract a dedicated clientele. 

After my float, I felt not only physically relaxed but also mentally clear. It’s a combination that many people are searching for, making it a valuable service.

I met a gentleman here yesterday who's done over 100 floats worldwide, and he told me he prefers this spa because of how clean and medical-spa-like it feels. He uses it not just for physical relief from a broken back but also for mental therapy, dealing with grief and loss.

Beyond the float rooms, they also have two high-end infrared saunas with different programs that target muscles and bones using various infrared waves. I'm definitely checking those out next.

If you're contemplating investing in a unique business opportunity, I highly recommend looking into float spas. They offer not just a service, but a unique, relaxing experience for people who are into wellness.

So, if you know anyone interested in a business like this, let’s connect. If you want a closer look at the property, schedule your tour today. Contact me at (505) 388-0310 or nmrealtorleland@gmail.com. You can also visit my website at www.LelandTitus.com for more information.
