Description
The housing market has been anything but normal for the past 5 years due to an unprecedented string of disruptions triggered initially by the Pandemic and followed by overstimulation of the economy, historically high levels of inflation, a corresponding rise in interest rates. These events had a dramatic effect on the housing market with transaction volume falling by 45%. More recently, lower interest rates & inflation had set the stage for a return to “normalcy” for the housing market in 2026.
Now, that all seems to be unraveling with Epic Fury. As oil prices surge & the country is at war, uncertainty has reared its ugly head once again leaving many questions as we head into the spring season. Interest rates are again rising, but will that last? Will the inventory shortage of homes for sale continue or ease? Will the pace of home sales come out of their slump?
Join leading economist Jeffrey Otteau as he breaks down the latest data, reveals what’s driving today’s shifts, and shares his outlook for the 2026 spring selling season. You’ll gain the insights you need to guide clients confidently, sharpen your pricing strategy, and capitalize on changing market momentum.
Here is a rundown of the essential information you will learn about:
- Housing Market Assessment – State, Regional & Local
- Interest Rate Predictions – 2026 & Beyond
- Home Price Trending – Today & Tomorrow
- Forward CMA Guidance – in a Normalized Housing Market
- Market Forecast – for the coming Months & Years
