Saw an interesting article today about where the housing market is heading in 2026.
Short version: Things are finally calming down! π
Mortgage rates expected to drop a bit (to around 6.3%), and the market should feel more balanced - not the crazy seller's market or the frustrating buyer's market we've been bouncing between.
Interesting detail: Some cities (especially in Florida) are expected to see prices actually DROP, while most others will see small increases.
Cleveland's not on that decline list, which tracks with what we're seeing here - steady demand, good fundamentals.
If you've been on the fence about buying or selling, 2026 might be the year it all feels a little more... normal.
Here's the full report if you're curious:
