In this final newsletter, we’re switching gears from reflection to 2026 preparation. Inside, you'll find must-haves for a successful start:

• A quick, crystal-ball snapshot of what housing experts are predicting for the year ahead.
• An inspiring podcast episode to help you drop the small talk and set truly bold, meaningful goals for the new year.

Let's step into 2026 not just prepared, but with clarity, purpose, and unstoppable momentum!



As we wrap up the year and look ahead to the next, it’s natural to start thinking about what we want to accomplish. Instead of choosing goals out of obligation or habit, try setting goals that genuinely excite and motivate you. 

• Dream: Let yourself envision the bold, even “impossible,” goals that excite you.
• Decide: Choose to pursue the goal, fully committing to the process.
• Design: Create a plan that breaks the dream into actionable steps.
• Do: Take consistent action, even when motivation dips.

If you’ve been on the fence about your real estate plans, there is no better time than now to get organized for 2026.

Don't wait until the spring rush. Use the quiet end of the year to solidify your strategy.

Real estate is always evolving, and this time of year brings a lot of questions about what 2026 will look like. While local trends vary, national forecasts offer a helpful big-picture view of what could be coming in 2026.

The National Association of REALTORS held their NAR NXT Conference a few weeks back and their Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun, gave his 2026 housing outlook. Below are some of his major predictions:



According to the 2025 NAR Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report, the median time people stay in their homes before selling is now 11 years. A slight drop in mortgage rates could encourage more homeowners to sell, after all, after 11 years, most homeowners have built up equity, and may be outgrowing what once worked. This brings everything full circle and contributes to the expected rise in existing home sales.
  
If these predictions hold, 2026 could bring more opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Whether you're thinking about moving up, downsizing, or relocating, now is a smart time to start planning. I’d be happy to help you map out a strategy or connect you with a trusted agent through my PLACE network if your move takes you out of the area.
