How to actually buy a house in 2026

The mortgage market is moving. Rates have shifted over the past year, and the buying process itself can feel hard to navigate, whether it’s your first time or not.

This session is a practical walkthrough of what’s happening with rates right now, how the house-buying process works, and the mistakes that catch buyers out most often.

We cover:

  • What’s driving the recent rate changes
  • The full house-buying process, step by step
  • Common mistakes buyers make and how to avoid them
  • Live Q&A from the original session
