Spring has officially arrived, and so has the uptick in the housing market! Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, now might be the perfect time to make your move. Here’s what you can expect from the Spring Housing Market in 2025.

1. More Homes for Sale

The inventory of homes is finally on the rise! Compared to this time last year, active listings are up 27.5%, making it easier for buyers to find the perfect home.

What Does This Mean?

  • Buyers: You’ll have more options and can afford to be more selective.

  • Sellers: With more homes available, the competition is higher. But inventory still remains below pre-pandemic levels, ensuring demand for your home.

2. Home Price Growth Is Slowing

While home prices are still rising, the pace is slowing. As supply increases and demand moderates, prices will appreciate at a slower rate, making it easier for buyers to enter the market without the pressure of rapid price growth.

  • Buyers: This means that while prices are still increasing, they won’t climb as quickly. You can expect your new home to appreciate over time, helping you build equity.

  • Sellers: Price your home competitively to attract buyers. In a more balanced market, overpricing can delay your sale.

3. Mortgage Rates Are Stabilizing

After a period of high volatility, mortgage rates are now stabilizing, giving buyers more predictability. Recent improvements in mortgage rates are encouraging more homebuyers to get back into the market.

  • Buyers: With stable rates, you can better plan your future payments, but remember, rates can still fluctuate. Work with your lender to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

  • Sellers: Stabilized mortgage rates mean more buyers are returning to the market, which could lead to higher demand when you sell.

4. More Buyers Are Returning

Thanks to improved inventory, moderated price growth, and stabilized mortgage rates, buyer confidence is rising. Mortgage applications have increased, meaning more buyers are ready to act.

  • Buyers: Don’t wait too long! Competition is picking up, so acting sooner rather than later could give you an advantage.

  • Sellers: This is great news for you – more buyers mean a higher likelihood of selling your home quickly!

The Spring Housing Market is full of opportunity for both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re looking to upgrade, downsize, or invest, now is a great time to dive into the market. If you’re ready to make your move, reach out to a local real estate expert to help guide you through the process.
