*We’ve officially reached the halfway point of 2026,* and the housing market still feels…stuck.
*The economy is in limbo. Home prices haven’t tanked.* And we aren’t seeing significant large multifamily distress...not yet at least. Is it just a matter of time before the other shoe finally drops, or *is this market more resilient than we expected?*
*Brian Burke* is back to give his *pulse check on the 2026 housing market.* What has changed? _Has_ anything changed?
We’re breaking down some of the predictions we made earlier in the year, the biggest surprises from the last six months, and *how we’re adjusting our expectations for 2027 and beyond.*
The truth is, this “boring” market is exactly *the kind of environment that has made disciplined real estate investors very wealthy.* Residential real estate values are holding steady, and *commercial real estate could be set up for a 10-year bull run.*
So, is it a *better time to buy* than the headlines suggest—or will those holding out for a *2008-style housing crash* be proven right?
