Is Now a Good Time to Sell a House in Miami?
Miami-Dade's single-family market was close to balanced heading into winter: 6.5 months' supply in November 2025, and a county median sale price of $671,250, up 3.3% year over year (MIAMI Association of Realtors, 2025-12-19 and 2025-11). The condo market was not — 14.1 months' supply over the same period, which that report defines as a buyer's market.

Why Are Home Prices So High in San Diego?
San Diego home prices sit near the top of the national range because the county's supply is physically and legally constrained while demand keeps arriving — but the price you actually face depends far more on which submarket and property type you shop than on any countywide number. Redfin's Southern San Diego median sale price was $782K over the last 3 months, up 0.3% year over year, while the median sale price per square foot there was $531, down 2.4% year over year (Redfin, undated).

Phoenix Housing Market Predictions: Will the Price Correction Continue?

Will Mortgage Rates Drop Soon?
As of the week of October 1, 2026, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 7.28% in Freddie Mac's survey, up from 7.03% the week before and 6.34% a year earlier (Freddie Mac, 2026-10-01). That is the opposite of what the major forecasters published for 2026, and the Federal Reserve's September move was a hike, not a cut. Nobody can tell you when rates fall, but you can price out what each outcome costs you.

Florida Housing Market Forecast: Where Prices Could Head Next
Florida is not one housing market, and the data releases that cover it do not line up neatly. Florida Realtors (2026-01) reported the statewide median sales price for existing single-family homes unchanged year over year in December 2025, while the statewide condo-townhouse median at year-end 2025 was down from year-end 2024 — in the same release. Metro-level Redfin figures for the three months ending August (Redfin, 2026-08) show Tampa and Broward County medians up year over year and Orlando's down.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy a House in Denver?
Denver buying math in late 2026 is being driven more by the mortgage rate than by the price tag. The 30-year fixed averaged 7.28% in Freddie Mac's survey dated October 1, 2026, up from 6.34% a year earlier, while the City of Denver median sale price was $619,090 in August 2026, up 4.9% year over year (Redfin, 2026-08). Those two moves pull in opposite directions for your monthly payment.
