The Regan Team Home Loan Group Weekly Real Estate Round up – August 26 2026

Why does so much of the housing news seem negative—even when the underlying data tells a more complicated story?

In this week’s market update, we break down the latest Case-Shiller home price numbers, new home sales, housing inventory, and what current supply levels could mean for home prices moving forward.

We also look at the latest PCE inflation report and what it means for the bond market and mortgage rates. Plus, we discuss one of the biggest long-term advantages of homeownership: wealth building. Federal Reserve data shows a dramatic difference in net worth between homeowners and renters, highlighting why owning a home can be such an important part of building wealth over time.

There’s a lot of noise in today’s housing headlines. This week, we focus on the actual numbers and what they mean for buyers, homeowners, and the real estate market.
