2026 is shaping up to be more affordable for many homebuyers.

Lower average mortgage rates are expected to drive the first drop in monthly payments since 2020. With incomes also growing, the share of pay needed to buy a typical home is projected to fall below 30% for the first time since 2022.

Thinking of buying or selling without an agent?
Here are 6 reasons why that could cost you—big time. ⬇️

1️⃣ Pricing Expertise – Agents know how to price your home right (not just based on internet searches).
2️⃣ Market Knowledge – From neighborhoods to interest rate trends, they have the inside scoop.
3️⃣ Skilled Negotiator – You want someone who can fight for your best deal, whether you’re buying or selling.
4️⃣ Handles the Paperwork – Contracts, disclosures, timelines… it’s a lot. A good agent keeps everything on track.
5️⃣ Access to Off-Market Listings – Some of the best homes never hit public sites. Agents know where to look.
6️⃣ Avoid Costly Mistakes – One wrong step could delay your closing or cost thousands—an agent helps you avoid that.

Don’t judge a home by its dated carpet or wild paint colors. 👀 Look for good bones: a solid foundation, functional layout, natural light, and roof/HVAC in good shape. Check for potential in overlooked areas—unfinished basements, underused garages, or outdated kitchens that could easily be modernized. Cosmetic updates are easy; structural issues are expensive. Know the difference before you buy!
