The Mid-Year Housing Market Update: Why Forecasts Changed in 2026

The housing market hasn’t rebounded as quickly as experts originally hoped. But that doesn’t mean it’s stalled.

Higher inflation and lingering economic uncertainty caused economists to revise their forecasts for this year. But importantly, when those two things settle down, many experts believe the market will regain its momentum.

So don’t see this revision in forecasts as a sign of trouble. See it as a temporary reaction to overall conditions and uncertainty.

If you want to know what’s happening in our local market, and what it could mean for your plans for the rest of this year, let’s connect.

What Rising Inflation Means for Your Move

Wondering what this means for your specific situation? Reach out today. Let's cut through the noise together and make a plan that actually works for you.

JUST SOLD 🎉

This rare single-story gem in a gated Las Vegas community is officially sold!

With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a private courtyard entry, open floor plan, high ceilings, and a thoughtful layout that separates the primary suite from the secondary bedrooms, this home offered the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and privacy.

Even better? My buyer secured a great deal with 4% in seller credits, help covering closing costs, a rate buydown, and major repairs negotiated — including a near-complete roof redo.

Located just minutes from the Strip, Allegiant Stadium, the airport, shopping, dining, and resort-style community amenities, this was a win from every angle.

Congratulations to my buyer on locking in a home that truly checked the boxes. 🏡

Thinking about buying in Las Vegas? The right negotiation can make all the difference.

The Real Reason Some People Are Still Moving Right Now

Life changes. Priorities shift. Families grow. Kids move out. Careers evolve. And eventually, the house you’re in may stop fitting the life you’re living.

If that’s been weighing on you lately, let’s talk through what your options could realistically look like today, no matter where rates or prices are.

Life can’t always wait for perfect market conditions. Maybe you don’t have to either.

You may be telling yourself you’re going to wait to move – maybe you’re hoping mortgage rates will come down, prices will fall, or the market will feel a little easier.

This Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who gave everything in service to our nation.

May their sacrifice remind us of the true cost of freedom and the importance of remembering those who never made it home.

Forever grateful. Forever remembered.

What Most Veterans Don't Know About Their VA Home Loan Benefit

VA home loans can put homeownership within reach, and a trusted lender can help make sure you understand the details before you move forward. If you’re active duty, you’ve served, or know someone who has, connect with a trusted lender who can walk you through whether you’d qualify and what the VA benefit offers. You may be able to buy a home sooner than you thought.

The Brendan King Group @ Simply Vegas

Nearly half of Veterans (49%) feel homeownership is currently out of reach, according to a recent survey from NewDay USA.
