Avg Mortgage Rate

2026 is a transitional market. Higher rates have cooled demand, but low inventory keeps prices stable. Sellers in hot markets still have leverage—but buyers are pickier and contingencies are back!

Key Insight: Cash buyers have MORE negotiating power in 2026 because financed buyers struggle with rates. If you're selling to a cash buyer, you're in demand!
