What’s ahead for the housing market?

Several markets could enter buyer-friendly territory this summer, according to Realtor. com.

Memphis, San Antonio, and Houston are among the metros nearing a buyer’s market transition. Meanwhile, Florida markets such as Cape Coral and North Port, already among the country’s strongest buyer markets, have begun moving away from peak buyer conditions, though they remain favorable for shoppers.

Data shows that with more metros shifting toward buyers and sellers adjusting expectations, the second half of 2026 may bring increased opportunities for buyers navigating a more balanced housing market.
