Why the model sees it this way
Sialim's model forecasts the typical Moses Lake home value will hold near flat in September 2026, from $357,840 to about $357,437. The 80% confidence range runs from $357,076 to $358,039.
Prices have been slipping, down an average of 0.22% per month over the past three months, and the market is up 0.1% from a year ago.
The 30-year mortgage rate sits near 6.7% (restrictive for affordability); for-sale inventory is about even with a year ago (+3%); national unemployment is 4.1%. For this metro the price-only model outperformed the macro-augmented one in backtesting, so the forecast leans on the price trend itself.
Over the most recent six-month test window, this model's predictions for Moses Lake were off by 0.7% on average. Smaller is better; anything under 1% is strong for monthly home values.
