On this episode of BiggerPockets, we delve into the tumultuous world of the 2025 housing market. Despite the odds stacked against it, the market continues to defy expectations with prices soaring amidst rising interest rates and inflation concerns. The real estate landscape is a battlefield where every move is crucial, and the stakes are higher than ever. As the dust settles, it becomes clear that the housing market is a beast of its own, unpredictable and unforgiving.
The team at BiggerPockets leaves no stone unturned as they dissect the shifting metrics that are reshaping the housing market. With prices up 4.8% year-over-year, surpassing long-term averages, the game is afoot. Real price changes, adjusted for inflation, reveal a more nuanced picture of the market's growth trajectory. The pulse of the housing market beats strong, with all 50 major US metro areas experiencing year-over-year price growth, a rare sight indeed.
As the narrative unfolds, markets like Cleveland and Milwaukee emerge as unexpected frontrunners, boasting a staggering 15% year-over-year growth. The tides are turning, and investors must navigate the choppy waters with caution. Inventory levels are on the rise, hinting at a shift towards a more balanced market dynamic. Mortgage rates, a key player in this high-stakes game, have remained stable around 7%, influenced by looming inflation fears. The Fed's cautious approach to rate adjustments underscores the gravity of the situation, where every decision carries weight.
