Trump Promised ‘Aggressive’ Housing Reform Next Year. Here’s What to Expect for Home Prices in 2026
The Trump administration plans regulatory reforms amid forecasts of a 0.5% rise in home prices and increased inventory, signaling a potential market shift in 2026.

- Between the start of 2020 and the third quarter of 2025, home prices climbed nearly 55% nationwide, pricing many Americans out and setting pressure for policy responses.
- Industry forecasts show prices largely flat next year, while the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 6.18% last week and Mike Simonsen expects rates above 6% next year.
- Policy analysts warn there are limits on executive action in 2026, as analysts and experts note the President faces constraints to boost housing and proposals are unlikely to materialize.
- Long-Term fixes hinge on building more homes, as economists say homebuilding lags and Redfin projects rental demand will remain elevated through 2026, pressuring affordability for renters.
