Why the model sees it this way
Sialim's model forecasts the typical Yuma home value will hold near flat in September 2026, from $279,024 to about $279,367. The 80% confidence range runs from $278,878 to $279,788.
Prices have been slipping, down an average of 0.17% per month over the past three months, and the market is up 0.7% from a year ago.
The 30-year mortgage rate sits near 6.7% (restrictive for affordability); for-sale inventory is up 19% year over year, which adds downward pressure on prices; national unemployment is 4.1%. These conditions feed into this metro's forecast, since the macro-augmented model beat the price-only model in backtesting here.
Over the most recent six-month test window, this model's predictions for Yuma were off by 0.7% on average. Smaller is better; anything under 1% is strong for monthly home values.
