Is the Housing Market Turning a Corner?

Is the housing market finally turning a corner—or are we headed for another challenging season? With fall 2026 upon us, we are digging into what some of the country’s leading economists and housing experts are saying about the months ahead. Mortgage rates, inventory, home prices, affordability and buyer activity are all part of the conversation, but the bigger question is: What does all of this actually mean for buyers, sellers and real estate professionals? The good news? Most economists aren't predicting a repeat of 2008. But that doesn't mean the market is easy. We're talking about a market that is becoming increasingly regional, increasingly dependent on affordability, and one where realistic pricing and informed decision-making matter more than ever. We'll also talk about a question we keep hearing: What happens when buyers stop waiting for the "perfect" mortgage rate and start making decisions based on the market that's actually in front of them? As always, we're looking beyond the headlines and breaking down the numbers in a practical, real-life way. Because whether you're buying, selling, investing or helping others navigate the market, understanding why the market is behaving the way it is may be more valuable than trying to predict exactly what happens next. Grab your coffee, put on your REALTOR hat (or your future homeowner hat!), and join us for a look at the fall housing market.    / @simplyauthenticpodcast   https://www.gershman.com/loan-officer... https://gatozarks.com/ https://www.arvesthomeloan.com/jdress... https://www.bigfootfunpark.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... https://simplyauthenticpod.com
