Housing Execs' Cautious Outlook: 2026 Summit Insights

John Burns Research and Consulting's 2026 Executive Housing Summit gathered 150 housing industry executives (27% private equity, 18% banks/lenders, 10% land developers, and others) in Laguna Beach to discuss market conditions and strategic positioning. The summit's eight key takeaways indicated housing executives maintain cautious outlooks with split sentiment through 2029, entitled land development has become the top risk-adjusted investment, equity raising has slowed while debt and land banking gain market share, entry-level buyers face affordability pressures while affluent segments show strong demand, rental policy tailwinds exist alongside technology scaling opportunities, and artificial intelligence requires multiyear data cleanup efforts before strategic adoption.

Affordability Concerns Push New Home Sales Lower in May

New home sales of newly built single-family homes declined 7.3% month-over-month in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 580,000 units and fell 6.8% year-over-year, driven by elevated mortgage rates, rising inflation, and economic uncertainty that constrained buyer affordability. The median new home sale price reached $424,900, months' supply of new homes stood at 10.3 months (above the balanced market indicator of 5-6 months), and regional performance was mixed with the West experiencing the sharpest monthly decline of 26.9%.

Big Six Residential Development Report — Summer 2025 (Birmingham)

JLL's Big Six Residential Development Report for Summer 2025 analyzes residential development trends across six UK cities (Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, and Manchester), finding average annual price growth of 1.7% and rental growth of 2.1% across these markets, with Birmingham leading in both metrics and over 14,500 BTR units in its pipeline. Key findings include a 64% increase in BTR investment in H1 2025 versus the five-year H1 average, normalization of rental growth from 4.2% in December 2024 to 2.1% currently, removal of Scotland's temporary rent cap legislation on 1 April 2025, and development viability challenges from building safety regulations and planning restrictions impacting new home completions despite strong underlying demand for urban housing.

Structural Demand Outpacing Supply: Jobs-to-Permits Ratios

The NAHB analysis compares net new jobs created in 2024 (approximately 1.8 million) against housing permits issued in 2023 (1.51 million units) to assess whether housing construction is keeping pace with employment-driven demand, finding an overall jobs-to-permits ratio of 1.2 and elevated ratios of 1.84 for single-family permits and 2.61 for multifamily permits. The document identifies metropolitan areas with the highest housing supply pressures (Fairbanks, Morgantown, Battle Creek) and lowest pressures (Weirton, Wheeling, Elkhart), attributing imbalances to factors including construction costs, labor shortages, land availability, and regulatory barriers, while noting that multifamily development has played a more significant role in high-demand markets than single-family construction.

Most Splendid Housing Bubbles in America: Price Drops & Gains in 33 Big Expensive Cities, May 2026

Home prices fell from prior peaks in 28 of 33 major expensive U.S. cities tracked in May 2026, with the largest declines in Austin (-27%), Oakland (-26%), and New Orleans (-19%), while prices rose year-over-year in only eight cities, notably Chicago and New York City which reached new all-time highs, and San Francisco where AI-driven compensation packages created a "mansion shortage" effect that boosted mid-tier prices 7.8% year-over-year. The analysis attributes prior price spikes from mid-2020 to mid-2022—led by Austin (+62%), Phoenix (+60%), and Fort Worth (+50%)—to Federal Reserve monetary policies including near-zero mortgage rates through quantitative easing, which created the current affordability crisis.

Hawkish Hold and New Plans from the Fed

The Federal Reserve maintained its federal funds rate at 3.75% in its June 2026 meeting under new Chair Warsh while adopting a more hawkish tone, removing the prior easing bias and emphasizing price stability, with the Summary of Economic Projections revising 2026 core PCE inflation expectations upward to 3.3% from 2.7% and indicating at least one rate hike by end of 2026. Chair Warsh announced a task force to review Fed operations across communications, balance sheet strategy, data sources, productivity analysis, and inflation framework, and acknowledged that current Fed policy is "somewhat restrictive" for the housing market while economic growth is projected at 2.2% for 2026 and unemployment at 4.3%.

The survey found that 35% of builders cut prices in June with an average reduction of 6%, while 62% used sales incentives, and regulatory costs were estimated to add more than 26% to the price of an average single-family home.
