There’s a lot of noise in the market right now. Rates, headlines, global events. It can feel like you’re supposed to “wait for the perfect moment.”

Here’s the reality: the market is still moving, and opportunities are showing up for the people with a plan.

I just recorded my April 2026 Mortgage Market Update breaking down what’s really happening and how it impacts you.

Here’s the quick breakdown:

• Rates have been volatile due to global events, but we’re seeing signs of stabilization
• Affordability has improved compared to recent highs, even with some rate movement
• Inventory is increasing, giving buyers more options and negotiating power
• Sellers are re-entering the market, but pricing strategy is more important than ever
• Income growth is helping offset housing costs, improving the overall picture

The big takeaway:
This isn’t about finding the “perfect” time. It’s about having the right strategy for your situation.

P.S. Waiting for the market to feel “certain” is what most people do. The problem is by the time it feels certain, the opportunity is already priced in. If you want to get ahead of it instead of reacting to it, let’s map out a plan here: https://kevinbrierton.com/call
