<a href="https://laohu8.com/S/Z">Zillow</a> Forecasts Modest Home Value Rise and Improved Affordability in 2026

Zillow Group Inc. has released its latest housing market analysis, forecasting a modest recovery in home values and improved affordability through 2026. According to Zillow, home values are expected to rise by 1.7% after a flat period in 2025, while mortgage rates are projected to gradually decline toward 6%. This trend should help boost home sales and make buying and renting more accessible. The analysis highlights that the nation's hottest housing markets in 2026 will be in the Northeast and coastal California, where limited inventory continues to spur competition and price growth. Hartford, CT, Buffalo, NY, and New York, NY are among the top-ranked metros for market heat, with sellers expected to maintain the upper hand. Zillow advises buyers in these fast-moving markets to be financially prepared, utilize digital tools, and seek mortgage pre-approval to strengthen their position. Affordability improvements will largely depend on location and continued shifts in inventory.
