Zillow's Shift in Housing Market Predictions
Zillow's recent forecast predicts a national decline in housing prices by 1.9% from March 2025 to March 2026, marking a significant shift from previous predictions of modest growth. This change follows a downward trend in their projections from 3% growth in January to nearly a 2% decline in April. Despite skepticism around Zillow's Zestimates, their overall national predictions have been relatively accurate in recent years, making this negative adjustment notable. A 2% drop is described as a normal economic correction rather than a harbinger of a housing market crash.
