Report: Majority of Metro Areas Saw Home Prices Increase in Q2
As someone who’s spent over three decades immersed in the real estate landscape here in Milton and beyond, I find it significant that more than 80% of metro markets experienced home price increases in Q2 2026. The national median price edged up 1.5%, reaching $434,900. The South led the way in sales growth, while mortgage rates held steady in the mid-6% range. Yet, inventory and affordability continue to pose real challenges, especially for first-time buyers—a reality I see play out often in our local market. With the market continually evolving, a grounded perspective and deep community ties help guide clients through every shift. These numbers underscore both the opportunities and obstacles present right now in real estate.
