2026 is the Best Market You’ve Experienced Since 2021

2021 was a true Black Swan event (read Talib’s Black Swan). Once in a lifetime circumstance caused by the perfect storm of millenials realizing they want home ownership (& could afford it!), airbnb bubble, hedge fund cash buyers (remember Zillow was buying houses), covid craziness, and of course, and probably most impactful, near-zero interest rates. There was A LOT OF LUCK in the market, and it took only a moderate level of skill to succeed

However, I Declare 2026 will be BETTER than 2021!!

This time, now, you have 5 more years of life experience. 5 more years of understanding values, sales & follow up skills, and valuable wisdom. If you’re like me, you probably didn’t quite see 2021 coming. Now it’s different because it is plain to see that the market is poised to provide your best year ever. Here’s why:

Here’s Why the 2026 Market Conditions are PERFECT for Investors & Brokers

We have been STARVED of transaction volume since 2022. It is been tough, watching the number of closed deals (in the entire US) decline over the past 4 years. This was caused by 3 things which are disappearing:

7% interest rates – Rates will be 6% or lower this year.
Low Inventory – Inventory is up 20% across the US. I predict this trend will continue.
Unaffordable houses – Houses have been becoming more affordable as the market demands price drops & seller concessions. Lower interest rates help with affordability. Finally, income has been rising over the past 4 years. Houses are trending back toward affordability and the Trump administration is working to keep the trend moving favorably.

Now, Here how YOU Make 2026 Your Best Year Ever

Today. January 25, 2026, you commit to building your momentum for the year NOW. This is an urgent call to action: Get as many deals going in the next 6-8 weeks as you possibly can. Buy now, before the Spring Market creates higher prices. Buy now to own the inventory to sell into that Spring Market-when higher prices can be had.

Time the market by MAKING OFFERS. Sunday afternoon, after church time, is a GREAT time to make deals. Much of the real estate business occurs on the weekend. Even better if there is snow on the ground-because folks answer their phones since they’re stuck inside. Build your momentum now, in January, then stay strong for the rest of the year. You can thank me in December when you look back and realize that yes, in 2026 you had your best year ever!!
