Home Price & Housing Market Update – February 2026

Following broad-based softening in 2025, the housing market has begun to stabilize, with improving price momentum and a meaningful narrowing in the share of markets experiencing declines. National home prices have firmed modestly, though affordability constraints and uneven regional supply conditions persist.

This report evaluates the key drivers of current housing dynamics, including rate-sensitive demand, constrained but regionally divergent supply, and evolving financing conditions. It also assesses the impact of mortgage rates, policy developments, and new-home market trends on transaction activity and home price performance.

As the market moves into the spring season, local supply conditions and financing costs are likely to remain the primary determinants of home price trends.
