Trying to make sense of the housing market this summer? Watch these three numbers. 📊⁣
⁣
1. Rates — the 30-year fixed is hovering in the mid-6% range, and most forecasters expect it to drift slightly lower through 2026.⁣
2. Inventory — about 4.5 months of supply, the most balanced it's been in years. More homes means more choice and less pressure.⁣
3. Prices — largely flat nationally for 2026, so you're not chasing a runaway market.⁣
⁣
Put together, it's a calmer, more balanced market than the past few years — which tends to favor prepared buyers who know their budget.⁣

Would You Rather: Pool or No Pool?⁣ ⁣ Summer editi Would You Rather: Pool or No Pool?⁣
⁣
Summer edition 🏊 Would you rather…⁣
⁣
🅰 A home WITH a pool — instant staycation, great for entertaining, but more maintenance, insurance, and cost.⁣
⁣
🅱 A home WITHOUT a pool — lower upkeep, more usable yard, and budget freed up for other priorities.⁣
There's no wrong answer — it comes down to how you'd actually live in the space. A pool is a dream for one family and a deal-breaker for another (and it doesn't always add the resale value people expect).⁣
