Our Market Thoughts…
Our market here in Lake Havasu City feels steady…
Sales have picked up, prices haven’t shifted dramatically, and days on market really depend on how a home is positioned.
Since we’re largely a second-home and relocation market, buyers here tend to move a little slower and think more long-term than in bigger cities.
For sellers, pricing and presentation continue to matter more than timing.
For buyers, the market offers more room to be selective than in recent years.
There’s opportunity for all who are looking to make a move in 2026…
having the right strategy and representation makes all the difference.
Mortgage Rates: Year-Over-Year
Mortgage rates are lower than they were this time last year, even though they’ve moved around throughout the year.
The improvement compared to last year has helped bring more buyers back into the market and supported increasedsalesactivity.
If you’re planning a move in 2026, we’d love the opportunity to help you.
