Deep dives
Home Prices and Market Dynamics
Home prices in 2025 are slightly higher than the previous year, but this growth is limited to about 2%, reflecting a significant slowdown compared to the historical average of around 5% annually. A crucial factor in maintaining these elevated prices is the limited inventory of homes available on the market, which impacts the supply-demand balance. Even though buyer demand has decreased due to higher mortgage rates, the low supply means that properties don't need to be affordable for everyone, just for a select few buyers. However, as inventory is expected to normalize by next spring, there is potential for home prices to stabilize or even decline if the trends continue.
