In Q2 2026, home prices in the US continued to rise on paper, but the real story is more complex: after factoring in inflation, values actually declined for the 13th month in a row. While the national index did show a slight uptick in annual appreciation\u2014about 1.5% in Late-Q2 compared to 1% earlier\u2014it still lagged nearly 2 points behind inflation, which hovered around 3.5%. That means homeowners are seeing less true value growth, even though nominal prices remain resilient (one federal measure has shown positive annual appreciation every quarter since early 2012).<\/p>\n<p>For those considering their next move, affordability remains front and center. Typical monthly payments for existing single-family homes increased again this quarter, making it even tougher for first-time buyers and those navigating big life changes. My priority has always been to protect my clients\u2019 interests and help them understand what these trends mean for their unique situation\u2014so you\u2019re never left guessing about your investment\u2019s real value.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who\u2019s guided families and individuals through every kind of market since 1985, I know the numbers behind the headlines matter.
