Is the housing market finally resetting in 2026? While some headlines suggest a collapse, the reality on the ground in Denver and across the U.S. looks more like a return to a balanced market. This video breaks down the specific facts, inventory data, and interest rate projections you need to know if you’re planning to buy a home this spring.
We dive into the "Lock-in Effect," easing up, why home inspections have become the new negotiation battlefield, and the reality of Denver’s 2026 inventory shifts. Whether you’re looking at single-family homes or the shifting condo market, this guide provides a transparent look at the current data from Redfin, Realtor.com, and the NAR.
What you will learn in this video:
1. National vs. Local Inventory: Why U.S. inventory is up 9% year-over-year and what that looks like for the Denver metro area.
2. The 2026 Sales Forecast: A breakdown of Redfin’s 3% growth prediction vs. the NAR’s optimistic 14% projection.
3. Interest Rate Reality: How the 6.1% to 6.3% range is impacting the "Lock-in Effect" and bringing past sellers back into the market.
4. The Inspection Strategy: Why more homes are returning to the market after failed inspections and how to negotiate them properly.
5. Loan Program Comparison: When to choose FHA vs. Conventional in 2026 and the specific advantages for Veterans.
6. Denver Market Specifics: A look at the $600k–$800k price bracket and why the condo market is currently softer for buyers.
