Fun Fact Friday 🏠 3/27/2026

Hey Friends!

I have a story on housing today in the form of 4 fun facts.  I hope you have a great weekend!

Blessings,

Fun Fact 1: 
Home Prices in the US increased 1% in 2025, their smallest gain since 2011. With wages rising over 3% in 2025 and interest rates falling (30-year mortgage rate: 6.9% -> 6.2%), that made the housing market slightly more affordable for the average buyer.

Fun Fact 2: 
After adjusting for inflation, prices are still extremely elevated and above the peak levels from the housing bubble of the mid-2000s.

Fun Fact 3: 
This has created a wide gap (44%) between the number of sellers (1.96 million) and the number of buyers (1.36 million).

Fun Fact 4: 
Which means that absent intervention from the Federal Reserve or Federal Government, we should continue to see prices move lower relative to inflation. The record appreciation above the rate of inflation that we saw in the first half of this decade is simply unsustainable.

Quote I’m pondering:
“He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.” ― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick
