Compass Predicts Balanced Housing Market and Rising Sales in 2026

Compass Inc., the largest residential real estate brokerage in the United States, has released its first Housing Market Outlook predicting that 2026 will usher in the most balanced housing market in years. According to Compass Chief Economist Mike Simonsen, the market is recalibrating after a period of slow home sales and high prices. The report forecasts that home sales will grow in 2026 as both inventory and wages rise, while home prices are expected to remain flat, increasing by just 0.5% nationally. Inventory is projected to grow by 5%, and mortgage rates are expected to average around 6.4%, supporting higher sales volumes, which are forecast to increase by 4.25% to 5% from 2025. The analysis also highlights regional differences, noting that the luxury segment-homes priced over $1 million-will continue to outperform entry-level properties, driven by affluent buyers less sensitive to interest rates.
