Report: Majority of Metro Areas Saw Home Prices Increase in Q2
This past quarter, over 80% of metro areas across the country saw home prices rise, with the national median reaching $434,900—a 1.5% increase in Q2 2026. The South continues to lead in sales growth, and while mortgage rates have held steady in the mid-6% range, inventory and affordability remain top-of-mind, particularly for those entering the market for the first time.
Having navigated market cycles from my earliest days investing in Miami Beach to serving clients throughout South Florida, I’ve seen firsthand how shifts like these shape buying and selling strategies. My commitment has always been to provide nuanced, tailored guidance—whether you’re a first-time buyer facing today’s affordability hurdles or a seasoned investor weighing your next move. In this evolving landscape, thoughtful strategy and deep local expertise make all the difference.
