Business Rundown: Is 2026 The Year To Buy Your Next Home?

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Realtor.com recently released its 2026 housing forecast, and there is some good news. Mortgage rates are expected to fall to 6.3% from an average of 6.6%. The survey also predicts modest increases in sales, prices, and inventory, but also declining rents. After a bruising 2025 that saw the housing market sink to 30-year lows, even this modestly improving forecast is welcomed news, especially as Americans grow increasingly concerned about affordability. Realtor.com’s Chief Economist Danielle Hale joins FOX Business’ Gerri Willis to break down the numbers and explain what to expect in 2026. Learn more about your ad choices.
