U.S. Pending Home Sales Surge to Highest Level in Nearly Three Years New data shows U.S. pending home sales rose sharply in November 2025, reaching their highest level in almost three years - a strong signal that buyer demand is converting into real contracts nationwide. Key takeaways: • Pending home sales increased 3.3% month-over-month • Highest level recorded in nearly three years • Growth was seen across Northeast, Midwest, South, and West • Indicates rising buyer confidence and active deal flow • A leading indicator for 2026 closings and inventory turnover Why it matters for real estate: • Strong pending sales suggest buyers are serious and prepared • Homes may move faster in early 2026 • Sellers who price correctly can capitalize on motivated demand • Buyers need strategy and readiness in competitive segments ⸻ 📉 2. 2026 Housing Market Outlook: A More Balanced Year Ahead Experts are forecasting a more stable and balanced housing market in 2026, with modestly lower mortgage rates and improved affordability compared to recent years. What experts are saying: • Mortgage rates expected to hover around 6% • Slower price growth creates more negotiating room • Increased inventory gives buyers more options • Reduced volatility encourages informed decision-making • 2026 is expected to reward preparation, not speculation Why it matters: • Buyers gain leverage through affordability and inventory • Sellers must rely on pricing, presentation, and marketing • Balanced markets favor smart strategy over hype ⸻ 📍 3. Hottest Real Estate Markets to Watch in 2026 Certain U.S. markets are positioned for standout activity in 2026, offering opportunity for both buyers and investors. What stands out: • Analysts identify top markets for buyer activity and investment • Includes affordable regions and high-growth metro areas • Demand driven by economic trends, migration, and local dynamics • Market knowledge helps buyers find long-term value • Sellers in high-demand areas can position for faster sales Why it matters: • Buyers can target markets with growth potential and equity upside • Sellers in strong regions benefit from strategic pricing and exposure • Regional insight creates advantage on both sides of the deal ⸻ 🎯 Buyer Tip: “Prep Now to Get Ahead of the Spring Rush” Winter is one of the most overlooked - and strategic times to prepare to buy. Smart buyer moves right now: • Get fully pre-approved before competition rises • Clean up credit and reduce high-interest debt • Track rates, but don’t wait - refinancing is always an option • Work with an agent early for off-market and pre-spring listings • Target motivated winter sellers and price-reduced homes Why it matters: • Less competition = more negotiating power • Serious sellers dominate the winter market • Early prep allows buyers to move fast when spring hits ⸻ 🏡 Seller Tip: “Position Your Home Early for Maximum Impact” Sellers who prepare in January and February often outperform those who wait for spring. Key seller moves to make now: • Begin decluttering, repairs, paint, and curb appeal • Set a pricing strategy before inventory increases • Consider listing early while competition is lower • Highlight move-in readiness to attract pre-approved buyers • Invest in marketing while online winter traffic is high Why it matters: • Early listings face less competition • Winter buyers are motivated and decisive • Preparation creates leverage and control in negotiations ⸻ 📌 Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply watching the market, Realty Resource Report breaks down what the headlines actually mean — without the noise. 🎤 Welcome Kiamara Garrett as our new co-host 👍 Like • 💬 Comment • 📺 Subscribe for weekly real estate news, strategy, and market insightTimothy Judkins , REALTOR® https://timothyjudkins.remaxbroadwate... 562-714-3825 Follow Today!
