February 2025 Real Estate Market Sneak Peek

Here’s what experts are saying about February 2025:

  • The New Normal: The wild ride of the past few years is settling. Buyers and sellers are adjusting to higher mortgage rates (6-7%), and prices, though still high, are predicted to grow slower (around 3.7% for the year)
  • Slight Inventory Increase: Compared to the past couple of years, more homes are expected to come on the market, easing the intense competition
  • No Big Price Drops: While price growth slows, significant declines are unlikely in most markets
  • Less Frenzy, More Strategy: Instant offers and bidding wars are over. Well-prepared homes with competitive pricing will still attract buyers
  • New Construction: Increased building could help with inventory, but it’s facing headwinds like labor shortages and material costs

February 2025 will likely be a more balanced market than we’ve seen recently, with opportunities and challenges. Adapting strategies will be essential for success.
