Wondering if the California housing market will finally calm down in 2026 — or if we’re just kidding ourselves? You’re not alone.
In this video, we break down the real experts’ outlook on where things are headed for the Golden State’s toughest-to-crack market. We’ll cover:
🏡 Price expectations — modest growth is forecast, not freefall, with median home values expected to tick up but not explode. Experts suggest a milder pace of appreciation compared to past years. California Association of Realtors
📈 Home sales & inventory — a slight increase in sales and more listings coming online could ease the intense competition we’ve seen recently. The Almanac
📉 Mortgage rates & affordability — rates are expected to trend a bit lower (but still above traditional norms), which may bring more buyers off the sidelines and slightly boost affordability. The Almanac
📊 What “stabilize” really means — we’re talking soft landings and slow climbs, not dramatic crashes or booms. The market isn’t collapsing… but it isn’t “easy mode” either.
Whether you’re thinking of buying, selling, or just trying to make sense of the headlines, this is your straight-talk guide to what 2026 could look like in California real estate.
