🔥 May 2026 Housing Market Update 🚨 Rates Surge, Inflation Jumps & DMV Sales Near 2008 Levels

🚨 Mortgage rates jumped MORE than 40bps in one month
⛽ Iran conflict → oil shock → higher inflation → higher mortgage rates
📉 DMV lost 100K+ jobs over the past year
🏠 Yet DMV home prices just hit 35 STRAIGHT months of appreciation

This market is getting VERY unusual.

Here’s what we break down this month:

🔥 Mortgage rates exploded higher again
📈 Inflation jumped back to 3.8%
🚨 Consumer sentiment hit RECORD LOWS
🏛️ DMV economy continues underperforming nationally
📉 DC proper unemployment still at 6.3%
💼 100K+ DMV jobs lost year-over-year
🏠 Market STILL on pace for fewest transactions since 2008
📈 BUT transaction pace has actually improved the past 3 months
⏳ Homes taking longer to sell for 21 straight months
💰 Prices STILL rising despite affordability pressure

Most people — including many agents — are not tracking how all of these trends connect together.

I do the deep dive so buyers, sellers, investors, and fellow agents DON’T have to.

Because Paul knows, so you can know too…
