Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale says mortgage rates starting 2026 much lower than last year give home shoppers reason to be optimistic.

"Lower mortgage rates are particularly beneficial for first-time homebuyers who have navigated the challenge of elevated rents and high-home prices while trying to compete with investors for the limited number of entry-level options," she says.

While the market remains challenging overall, some cities and neighborhoods offer more homes for sale and stronger local economies, creating better opportunities for first-time buyers.

Would you buy a new construction home? Prices for newly built homes fell to a four-year low in the fall as builders cut prices, according to a report delayed by the government shutdown. The median price dropped to $392,300, down 8% year over year and the lowest since 2021.

About 40% of builders reported cutting prices and 67% offered incentives like mortgage rate buydowns, moves aimed at easing affordability pressures and attracting buyers back into the market.

2019: "I'm waiting for the market to crash."
2020: "Pandemic! See? I was right!"
2021: "Prices are insane. I'll wait."
2022: "Rates are too high. I'll wait."
2023: "Still too expensive."
2024: "New administration..."
2025: Still renting. Still waiting. Still wrong.

Meanwhile, the "panic buyers" of 2019?
They own homes worth $95k more.
They've built six years of equity.
They're not paying rent.

The crash you're waiting for?
Even if prices drop 15%, that's $417k → $354k.
Still $32k more than 2019.
You're still behind.

And when prices DO drop?
Every "patient" buyer floods the market.
That $354k house gets 15 offers.
Bidding war pushes it to $375k.
You waited six years to overpay anyway.

One of you is winning. Hint: Not you.

Every year you wait costs:

Appreciation you'll never recover
Equity you'll never build
Rent you'll never get back
