The Local Perspective:

The biggest thing feeding into the confusion online is how different home price trends are by area right now. Take a look at this data from ResiClub and Zillow (see graph).

About half of the largest metros are seeing prices go up.

The other half are seeing some declines.

Unfortunately, the online chatter only focuses on the markets where prices are down – and that makes it sound like something bigger is happening. But, as you can see in this graph, that’s only one side of the story. The full picture is different.

The National Perspective: Moderate Price Growth…

As a country, when you average it all together to get a true baseline, one thing becomes clear, home prices are still net positive at the national level.

According to the Redfin, national home prices were up about 1% year-over-year in February. So, what we’re seeing right now isn’t a collapse. It’s a market that’s normalizing after a period of unusually fast growth. And that impacts some local markets more than others – particularly those where prices rose too far, too fast during the pandemic.

A true crash, like what happened in 2008, would mean prices dropping sharply across the entire country. That’s just not what the data shows today. And it’s not where things are going either.

Experts agree this isn’t 2008!!

In fact, Fannie Mae surveyed over 100 housing market experts to ask their opinions on where prices are headed from here. And the experts agree, nationally, prices are expected to keep rising over the next five years.

Homeowners looking to sell usually want three things: plenty of interested buyers, strong offers, and a short timeline. Spring is the season that most often delivers all three.

So, if a move has been on your mind this year, this is the window where momentum tends to work in your favor. Here’s what makes this season so powerful for sellers.

1. More Buyers Will Be Looking

Typically speaking, in the housing market, there’s no more popular time to move than the Spring. Historically, data coming out of ShowingTime proves that’s when buyer activity peaks each year.

And this year, there’s more than just the seasonal trend working in your favor. Mortgage rates are also sitting near 3-year lows – and that combination matters.

More buyers + improving affordability = more eyes on your house.

That doesn’t mean the market will return to the frenzy of the pandemic – far from it. But it does mean more buyers will be ready to re-enter the market.

2. You May Get More Offers

With more buyer demand, it makes sense that you may get more offers on your house. And history shows that’s usually true.

If we look at the data for the last three years from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and take the averages for each month, it’s clear sellers in the Spring get more offers.

3. Homes Usually Sell Faster

On average, homes sell 20 days faster in the Spring compared to the Winter. That’s almost 3 weeks shaved off your timeline. And that’s a difference you can feel.

The faster your home sells, the earlier you can move on to what’s next for you.

If you’re eager to go on to your next chapter, need to downsize, or you’ve run out of space, Spring may be your best time to sell.

Bottom Line -
Spring doesn’t guarantee a sale. Strategy still matters. But this season gives you something valuable: momentum.

More buyers. More activity. More opportunity!!!

The real question is: if you’re going to sell this year, why not do it when the odds are in your favor?🙌🏻🏡

Monthly payments have started to come down, and the squeeze buyers have been feeling for the past few years is slowly loosening. Now, that doesn’t mean everyone can suddenly afford a home, but with how tough the market’s been, the improvement we’re seeing matters.

So, what’s driving the change? A lot of the focus lately has been on mortgage rates and how much they’ve come down over the course of the past year. But that’s not the only factor working in favor of buyers right now. Here are three trends benefiting buyers today:

1. Mortgage rates have eased. Rates are near their lowest level in more than three years, which helps lower monthly payments

2. Home price growth has cooled. Prices aren’t falling nationally, but they’re growing much more slowly than they were a few years ago. That means buyers today aren’t facing the same sharp jumps in purchase prices, which helps keep monthly payments more manageable – and buying more predictable.

3. Wages are growing faster than home prices. This one matters a lot. As Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, explains:

“When income growth exceeds house price growth, house-buying power improves—even if mortgage rates don’t decline meaningfully.”

None of this makes buying cheap, but it does explain why the math is starting to work a little better for buyers than it did even a just a year ago. Put simply, the forces that hurt affordability over the past few years are finally easing. Fleming again explains it well:

“Affordability remains challenging, but for the first time in several years, the underlying forces are finally aligned toward gradual improvement. Mortgage rates may drift down only slowly, but income growth exceeding house price appreciation will provide a boost to house-buying power — even in a higher-rate world. Affordability won’t snap back overnight, but like a ship finally catching a steady tailwind, it’s now sailing in the right direction.”

It’s important to understand what’s happening here locally in the twin cities. If you would like to see how this could help you reach your real estate goals this year, we’d love to talk!

Why now? Here’s what we’re seeing:

If you bought in 2020 or 2021, you likely have significant equity.
 Homeowners who purchased during this period benefited from historically low interest rates and some of the strongest home price appreciation we’ve seen in decades. After navigating the market shifts of 2023–2025, many owners are now sitting on substantial, untapped equity.

This means you could sell your current home, pay off your mortgage, and still have a strong down payment for your next home, even with today’s interest rates. If your home no longer fits your lifestyle, size needs, or long-term plans, 2026 may be an ideal time to make a move.

Buyers who entered the market more recently faced higher interest rates, but benefited from stabilizing prices. Looking ahead, 2026 is expected to be a rebound year, with more homes coming to market, increased sales activity, and projected mortgage rates easing into the 5.7%–6.4% range.

This could create better options and improved affordability if you’re considering upgrading, downsizing, or relocating.

Bottom line:
 Many homeowners are realizing they may have outgrown their current home or that their needs have changed. With rising equity, improving inventory, and more balanced market conditions, this could be the right moment to explore your options.

If you’re curious about what your home could sell for, or what a move might look like in today’s market, I’d be happy to walk through the numbers with you and help you decide if this makes sense for you!
