There is a dangerous myth circulating in Centennial right now: "I should wait for rates to hit 5% before I list."
According to the new 2026 Housing Market Outlook from TimeToSell.AI, this strategy could backfire. The report projects a "Normalization Cycle" where inventory slowly rises. If you wait too long, you might be selling when competition is fiercest.
The report suggests a smarter strategy: List when inventory is low. By utilizing "Payment Engineering"—using seller credits to lower the buyer's rate temporarily—you can attract buyers today without waiting for the Fed to act.
Don't gamble on macro-economics. Look at the data. Read the full report here.
