Rocket Companies Inc., through Redfin, has released its 2026 housing market predictions, forecasting the onset of what it calls "The Great Housing Reset." The report anticipates a slow but steady increase in home sales and a gradual normalization of prices as affordability improves over several years. Key projections include a dip in 30-year fixed mortgage rates to an average of 6.3% in 2026, slightly easing affordability concerns and leading to a modest uptick in sales. Rents are expected to rise by 2% to 3% year over year due to increased demand and falling apartment supply. The analysis also predicts changes in household composition, with more adults sharing homes and fewer young people achieving homeownership. Additionally, the National Association of Realtors is expected to shift decision-making to local MLS branches, prompting industry consolidation and technological innovation.
