Housing Market Predictions for 2025: What's Next for Buyers and Sellers

Housing Market Predictions for 2025: What's Next for Buyers and Sellers

With 2024 fast receding in the rear view, it’s time to look ahead to see what buyers, sellers and renters can expect over the next year. 

2025 should prove to be another breather year for prospective buyers with slower home value growth and mortgage rates that stay below some of the peaks we saw in 2024.

“Buying a home in 2024 was surprisingly competitive given how high the affordability hurdle became,’’ says Zillow® Chief Economist Skylar Olsen. “More inventory should shake loose in 2025, giving buyers a bit more room to breathe.”

Northern Virginia Housing Market Moderated

Northern Virginia Housing Market Moderated in October, Reports NVAR Slightly More Inventory Seen as Positive Sign 

FAIRFAX, Va. (November 14, 2023) – Northern Virginia home sales declined only 5.6% while prices rose 3.1% from the previous October, showing more moderation than recent months, reported the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors® (NVAR)

This means that homebuyers had more choices than a year ago.
