Is Fall 2026 a Good Time to Buy a House? What the NAR Data Shows
The NAR’s July 2026 data shows a $434,100 median price, 4.6 months of inventory, and 37 consecutive months of year-over-year price gains. None of it supports a blanket “fall is better” conclusion — but as of September 2026, the fall data hasn’t been published yet.

Buy Now Pay Later: What the CFPB Says You Need to Know Before the Holidays

How to Adjust Your W-4 for 2027: What the IRS Withholding Data Shows
The 2027 W-4 exists — but the IRS says “DO NOT FILE” it. Until the final form arrives (expected December 2026), use the 2026 W-4 and the updated IRS Tax Withholding Estimator. The OBBBA deductions already built in — tips ($25K), overtime ($12.5K), auto loan interest ($10K), senior deduction ($6K) — can increase paychecks now if you update Step 4b.
