🏡 What’s Changing

  • The rapid price declines seen in 2024–2025 appear to be tapering off.
  • Demand from first-time buyers and downsizers has increased modestly.
  • Mortgage lenders report slightly improved credit conditions, with fewer repossessions and steadier borrowing demand.

🔎 For Buyers and Homeowners

  • For prospective buyers: this might be a more stable environment to hunt for deals.
  • For current homeowners: value drops may moderate, reducing the risk of negative equity.
  • For mortgage holders: refinancing may become more predictable with lower volatility in property values.

📌 Important Considerations

  • Regional variations remain — some high-demand areas still see price drops.
  • Interest rates remain elevated, affecting affordability.
  • Economic uncertainty and inflation still pose risks to demand and consumer confidence.
