Additional Market Factors to Watch in 2026
Slowing Migration
Lower migration levels are easing some demand pressure compared to 2024–2025 highs.
High Construction Pipeline
Apartment construction levels remain historically elevated.
Interest Rate Stability
Stable rates are helping support market confidence, though affordability remains stretched in some segments.
Price Gap Opportunities
Balanced markets often create strategic move-up opportunities particularly when price gaps narrow between segments.
⸻
Itani Estates Perspective
This is no longer a headline-driven market.
It’s a strategic market.
• Balanced conditions reward preparation
• Pricing precision matters more than ever
• District-level knowledge is critical
• Property type matters more than citywide averages
Every segment tells a different story.
If you’re considering buying, selling, or upgrading in 2026, decisions should be based on:
• Your property type
• Your district
• Your price band
• Your timeline
