As the 2025 predictions roll in, the researchers at Realtor.com says mortgage rates will continue to average above 6% and home prices will keep rising. In addition they say the supply of homes for sale will continue to improve as well as new-home construction.
“This past year brought us a surprising upward trend in home price growth despite the persistence of high mortgage rates and rising inventory,” Realtor.com economists wrote. “Mortgage rates are expected to keep mortgage payments essentially unchanged in 2025 despite continued home price growth.”
