Pending home sales just snapped an 8-month growth streak as mortgage rates hit 6.69% in August 2026. Realtor.com reports pending sales fell 0.2% nationally — but the South (up 1.8%) held up while the Midwest (-4.3%) and West (-3.3%) plunged.

In this video, Jesse from the Garza Home Team breaks down the truth about the August 2026 housing market: why rates rose, why 20.4% of listings are taking price cuts, why active listings are up 3.6% while new listings stall, and how buyers in the San Antonio metro have leverage right now — but only if they act before rates move again.
