WTF is Happening With the Housing Market? (Video)

In this 13 June 2026 published video, host Michael Bordenaro talks about how the national housing market is caught in a stalemate defined by stagnant affordability, stubbornly elevated mortgage rates hovering around 6.5 percent, and a disconnect between what buyers can afford and what sellers demand. Despite this, economists broadly agree a 2008-style crash is highly unlikely; instead, the market is undergoing a prolonged correction.
Millions of homeowners secured sub-3 percent mortgage rates during the pandemic and refuse to sell, which severely limits the overall inventory of existing homes for sale. Stubbornly high inflation and lingering geopolitical conflicts have prevented mortgage rates from dropping to early-pandemic lows, keeping monthly payments out of reach for many traditional buyers. Today’s market is highly polarized. Buyers flush with stock market gains or existing home equity continue to purchase, while rate-sensitive, first-time buyers are largely priced out. To move inventory, homebuilders are actively cutting prices and offering rate buydowns.
While national home prices remain mostly flat or see modest single-digit growth, regional markets vary significantly. Sun Belt states and the West Coast (especially areas of Florida) are seeing mild price drops due to a localized glut of new construction, while the Northeast remains highly competitive.
Focus on buying a home that fits your budget rather than fixating entirely on timing the market. To find current, localized listings, track availability on local Zillow or Redfin Housing Market platforms. The era of wild, unconditional bidding wars is over. Setting a realistic, competitive list price is crucial, especially if selling a condominium. If standard 30-year fixed rates are too high, speak to local lenders about Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs) or see if a homebuilder offers permanent or temporary interest rate buydowns. You can also use the Bankrate Mortgage Calculator to realistically estimate how shifting rates will affect your monthly expenses.
