Every year brings new shifts in the housing market, and July 2026 was no exception. The U.S. median price for single-family homes reached $418,610—a 3.93% increase from last year—while mortgage rates climbed to 6.66%. For perspective, Washington, D.C. currently tops the list with a median price of $1,342,343.
Numbers like these can stir up a lot of emotions, especially for those trying to time a move, invest, or simply understand what’s possible for their family. I’ve always believed that finding your next home or investment is about more than chasing headlines or reacting to the latest statistics—it’s about making decisions you feel good about, grounded in clear information and focused on your long-term goals. My role is to help clients navigate these shifting numbers with calm guidance and a steady hand, so they can feel confident no matter what the market brings.
