There has been a warrying concern about the state of the housing market in 2025. Talks about a crash and whispers of whether or not buying continues to be worth it. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the market isn't about to fall off.
It is apparent that the rising value of homes has slowed or flattened in comparison to the market we have freshly come from. We currently have a rising inventory which most often results in prices to slow and/or dip, a very normal occurrence. Regardless of such, a survey from Fannie Mae, which surveyed over 100 leading housing market experts, show that housing prices are going to continue rising. The rate of increase seen is slower, and healthier, than what people became accustomed to since 2020.
Looking at the experts involved in this survey, there are those who give average projections, and then the outlier groups that were labelled as "Optimists" and "Pessimists". Even the pessimists see that there will be at least a 1.3% increase in price per year, while optimists give a projection showing that at most they expect a 5.0% increase in price per year.
While the experts here show about a 4% difference in ranging opinions, not a single expert is expecting a national decline or crash in the value of Real Estate. This market is much healthier and predictable than the one we have just come from. You may find times where value hits a lull, but these are always short term issues. Looking much further down the road has historically portrayed an increase in value and a high return on investment (ROI) when investing in housing. Whether that investment be personal or for business, it is always a sound avenue to build wealth in the long term.
