Home Price Forecasts for the Second Half of 2025

As we move into the second half of 2025, many people are asking: Where are home prices headed? Whether you're considering buying or selling, understanding the latest market forecasts can help you make a more informed decision.

Experts across the housing industry are predicting that home prices will continue to rise—but at a more moderate and sustainable pace than we’ve seen over the past few years. This points to a stabilizing market rather than one in decline.

If you're a buyer, this is important to know. Purchasing a home sooner rather than later could help you avoid paying more as prices inch upward. Even if the increases are gradual, delaying your purchase may still cost you in the long run.

For homeowners thinking about selling, the forecast offers good news as well. Continued price growth means you're still in a strong position to earn a solid return—especially if you’ve owned your home for a few years. While we're likely past the days of double-digit annual gains, sellers can still benefit from steady market demand.

What’s fueling this continued growth? A persistent shortage of available homes paired with strong buyer demand is keeping upward pressure on prices. Even with today’s higher mortgage rates, motivated buyers remain active in many markets, especially in areas with job growth and limited inventory.

No matter your goals, staying informed about the market—and working with a knowledgeable real estate professional—can help you navigate your next move with confidence.
