Is the housing market turning?

In this episode, we explore early 2026 market indicators and what they may signal for the year ahead. After a difficult and uncertain 2025, we discuss shifts in buyer activity, inventory levels, interest rates, and broader economic factors that suggest momentum may be returning.

This conversation focuses on real data, industry experience, and the early clues we’re watching as the market begins to thaw.

• Who conducts them (city/county, utilities, certified independent agencies)
• How hold points work—and why work pauses until the inspection passes
• The payoff: fewer disputes, cleaner documentation, better homes
