Welcome to The Snap, the twice-yearly market report from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, offering you a clear, current view of the trends shaping today’s U.S. housing market—and what they could mean for your next move.
Inside, we’ll explore where the market is recalibrating, looking at recent mortgage rate shifts and home price fluctuations, as well as the regions seeing more balanced conditions. We’ll dive into which cities international buyers are choosing for long-term stability, what’s drawing homebuyers to high-growth cities like Charlotte and Salt Lake City, and the less-traditional housing options buyers are increasingly open to.
We’ll also review the latest buyer attitudes to AI tech in homes. How much of a priority is AI for homebuyers these days? The answer is very different depending on the type of buyer.
Looking ahead, many experts view 2026 as a reset year—one marked by greater stability and more measured negotiation, even as broader economic and global factors continue to influence the market.
I encourage you to review this report with your own goals in mind. Whenever you’re ready, let’s connect and talk through what this moment in the market means for you.
