National Home Values Keep Rising

National home prices rose 0.1% from June to July, according to Case-Shiller, bringing the gain from March through July to nearly 3%. That's a resilient pace of growth, especially as mortgage rates began rising during the period. Overall, home prices are up 1.9% from a year ago.

A separate report from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) found that seasonally adjusted home prices rose 0.3% in July. Prices for homes backed by conventional loans were up 2.6% from a year ago.

What's the bottom line?

Even modest home price gains can add up over time. For example, a $500,000 home appreciating 3% in a year would gain roughly $15,000 in value. Over time, that appreciation can become a meaningful part of a homeowner's overall wealth.

What’s changed and why?

What millennials prioritize when shopping for a home looks very different from what their parents or grandparents did. And to be honest, preferences among this generation have even changed over the past decade.

Home Sales Post Strongest Pace of 2026

Existing home sales increased for the second straight month in May, rising 3.2% from April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.17 million homes, their strongest pace since December. Housing inventory also improved, climbing 3.3% month over month to 1.55 million homes and sitting slightly above year-ago levels.

What's the bottom line?

While inventory is growing, the housing market remains undersupplied compared to historical norms. Still, the recent increase in both inventory and sales suggests more buyers are finding opportunities in today's market. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun attributed the momentum to improving affordability, noting that mortgage rates remain lower than they were a year ago and are close to their long-term historical average.

Lenders?

While current homeowners have seen their equity soar, particularly among those who’ve owned their homes the longest, financing remains the favored route to home buying versus all-cash purchases. Learn more in the 2026 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends report: https://bit.ly/4sGXMG9
