CNBC reports the 2026 housing market outlook predicts modest price growth (2-4%) amid high rates (6%+), with inventory rising slowly but affordability challenges persisting for first-timers. Ten cities where prices may fall include overvalued markets like Austin and Boise, potentially offering buyer leverage. For horse property owners, this means stable luxury demand in areas like Scottsdale, but opportunities in affordable regions—watch rates and inventory for strategic moves.
