Buying a home in 2026 is going to look different…

In this episode, Paden and Whitney sit down to break down a clear, practical 2026 Home Buyers Guide & Roadmap, walking through what buyers need to know before they start touring homes and writing offers.

With the market continuing to normalize, buyers are gaining more opportunities — but those opportunities come with new considerations. From interest rates and pricing strategies to negotiations and timing, understanding the full picture matters more than ever.

In this episode, we break down:

  • How to prepare financially and strategically before beginning the search

  • Best practices for navigating interest rates and affordability

  • How to write strong, competitive offers without overextending

  • Common buyer mistakes we’re seeing — and how to avoid them
