🙏 Housing Market 2026: Buyers Finally Have More Power Than Sellers 🏡📉

The 2026 housing market is starting to look very different from the frenzy we've seen over the past few years.

🏡 Active housing inventory is up 8.9%
📉 Home prices have fallen 2.4%
⏳ Homes are taking longer to sell
📊 Mortgage rates are lower than they were a year ago.

For the third straight week, home prices have declined, and economists say this shift goes beyond normal seasonal changes.

My take?

This doesn't mean every market is crashing.
It means buyers finally have something they haven't had in a long time:
✅ More homes for sale ✅ More negotiating power ✅ More time to make decisions ✅ More opportunities to find the right home.

Real estate is always local.

Some cities are still competitive. Some markets are slowing. Some sellers are having to adjust expectations.
The key is understanding what's happening where YOU live.

That's what I help people do every day.

📲 If you're thinking about buying a home, selling a home, relocating to another state, investing in real estate, or just want to understand your local housing market, text or call me at 334-797-0134! That's what I'm here for!

🏡People Aren’t Moving for Bigger Homes Anymore…They’re Moving to Escape Gas Prices⛽

⛽Gas is now averaging $4.53 a gallon nationwide 😳
And here’s the crazy part…
before prices even jumped this high, 58% of homebuyers already said commute time was a deal-breaker.
People aren’t just buying homes based on bedrooms and square footage anymore.
Now it’s:
• How far is work?
• How much will I spend driving?
• Is the commute worth the stress?
A cheaper house farther away doesn’t always save money anymore.
📍Location just became even more important. 👀

📲 Text or call me at 334-797-0134 to get started with finding your new home in Alabama & Georgia or to get connected with a great real estate professional in your local market that can help you reach your goals in finding the right home for you!

Over 1 MILLION homes started last month 🔥

Builders across the country just crossed 1 MILLION new homes started for the first time in over a year.
That’s a nearly 10% jump in one month.
But here’s the catch…
Permits are actually dropping.
So yeah, things are moving…
but builders are still playing it safe. If you're thinking about building your dream home, builders across the country are offering huge incentives for buying new construction. It's key to make sure you're connected with the right professional to represent you in your purchase. I'll be glad to help you. No matter what city or state you're located in, I can connect you with someone to make sure you get the right results. Text or call me at 334-797-0134 for more info!

Ready to buy a home? Well, the "Great Reset" is finally here for those who were waiting. 🚨 For the first time in years, the math has flipped.

New data shows there are now 630,000 MORE sellers than buyers in the U.S. housing market. That is a massive 46.3% gap. While everyone else is staring at the high mortgage rates and being hesitant, smart moves are being made in the shadows.

Here is why this is your "unfair advantage":
Zero Competition: The "bidding war" era is over in most real estate markets. There’s officially a buyer's market in most of the country.

Sellers are Sweating: With roughly 1.99 million active sellers and only an estimated 1.36 million buyers nationwide, sellers have to hold firm prices and wait it out with patience, start reducing, or start offering major concessions & incentives.

Negotiation is Back: You can finally ask for those repairs, closing cost credits, and price drops that were impossible a few years ago.

Don’t wait for the rates to drop and the crowds to come back. That’s when the competition returns. Buy the house now, and refinance the rate later. 🧠✨

What would you do with a $5k-10k seller credit? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Have questions about buying or selling? I'd love to answer your questions or start sending you properties on the market that fit what you're looking to buy next. Just text or call me at 334-797-0134! That's what I'm here for!

Still waiting for rates to drop before you buy?

Here's the truth...People who waited last year are still waiting. 😅

The Wiregrass market keeps moving, and the buyers who jumped in are already building equity while everyone else sits on the sideline.

Yeah, it sounds cliche, but it's true..."You don't marry the rate. You date it." If & when rates go down, refinance later. But you CAN'T go back and buy that house at today's price once it's gone, and, if rates instead, you can only afford less. 🏡

If you're ready to stop renting someone else's mortgage and start building your own wealth, let's talk. I've directly helped hundreds of individuals & families make that move right here in Southeast Alabama and Southwest Georgia, but, with a team of partner agents who've helped thousands, I can assist you in any city and any state. 🤝

Okay, so here's something wild that not enough people are talking about...

The capital gains tax exemption on your home? It hasn't changed since 1997. Meanwhile home prices are up over 260%!

That means if you're a single homeowner and you made more than $250K in profit when you sell, you OWE taxes on the rest. Married? Your cap is $500K. Sounds like a lot… until you look at this map.

Hawaii = 79% of homeowners are already over that limit.
California = 62%. Washington = 65%. Utah = 61%.
And here in Alabama? 13.4%... which actually tells you something important about our market.

Now there are Republicans in Congress who say they want to fix this, and Senator Ted Cruz is pushing to tie that number to inflation, so the cap actually keeps up with real home values. Others want to just double the exemption entirely.

And here's the part nobody talks about... this tax is also why your neighbor won't sell. They're locked in. Sell the house, face a massive tax bill. So they stay. And inventory stays low. And prices stay high.

This isn't just a rich people problem. It's an everyone problem.

Drop a 🏡 if your state surprised you on this map. What do you think the solution should be?

Tens of millions of prospective homebuyers may soon qualify for mortgages due to new rules. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's changes include on-time rent and utility payments in credit score calculations.
