The Summit 2026 Recap

IHP Capital Partners' Renee McDonnell recently attended The Summit 2026 hosted by John Burns Research and Consulting, joining industry leaders to discuss the state of the housing market and the outlook ahead. Reflecting on the event, Renee shares:

"The overarching tone at this year's Summit was cautious but not distressed. Market outlook is flat-to-modestly declining home prices through 2026, driven primarily by weak consumer confidence rather than excess supply. While transactional velocity remains slow, most industry leaders emphasized that balance sheets across the homebuilding sector remain healthy and long-term housing demand fundamentals are intact. IHP remains optimistic and committed to the pursuit of land and housing opportunities with strategic partners."

At IHP, we continue to see compelling opportunities alongside our strategic partners and remain focused on investing in high-quality land and housing projects that will help meet the nation's ongoing housing needs.
