What to Expect: Inventory, Price Trends & Buyer Tips for 2026
Housing supply is up 24% from last year, but buyer competition is still real — especially for move-in ready homes under $500K. Multiple-offer scenarios are frequent in high-demand neighborhoods, but buyers are seeing more room to negotiate on price and repairs than in 2023–2024.
- Homes priced right are still selling quickly — often within 3-5 weeks
- Inspection and appraisal contingencies are back (good news for buyers)
- Luxury and new construction homes offer more room for price negotiation
- Rental homes remain hot; investors can expect low vacancy and rising rents
Here’s how The Brewer Group helps clients get ahead:
- Instant alerts for new MLS inventory not found elsewhere
- Custom tours — virtual or in-person — seven days a week
- Proven negotiation tactics to secure your price and terms
