Will Home Prices Crash in 2025?
Many buyers and sellers are asking the big question: Is a market crash coming? Here’s what experts predict:
📈 No Major Crash Expected:
Unlike 2008, today’s market is built on strong lending practices and low housing supply. Homeowners have record-high equity, making widespread foreclosures unlikely.
💰 Price Adjustments, Not a Crash:
While some overheated markets may see slight price dips, most areas will hold steady or grow modestly. Mortgage rates will continue to impact affordability, but lower inventory will keep prices stable.
🏠 What Should You Do?
Buyers: Waiting for a crash could mean missing out on equity growth. Sellers: Well-priced homes are still selling fast.
💬 DM me for more details.
