Zillow Economists Break Out the Crystal Ball: Housing Market Predictions for 2025 | Market Trends

In this video of our series _Market Trends_ , Zillow® Chief Economist Skylar Olsen will go over three housing market predictions for 2025.

It's been one of the most challenging years on record for the housing market, with rock-bottom inventory and mortgage rates hitting highs not seen in the past two decades. If you've been hoping to buy or sell in the new year, you're probably wondering if we'll ever see any relief.

While we're likely not entirely out of the woods yet, Zillow® economists predict 2024 will bring improvement on several fronts, including affordability. "This is our breather year," Zillow Chief Economist Skylar Olsen says. "I expect the beginning of a long healing process to kick off in the housing market next year."

What will this look like? For one, although homes will remain expensive in 2024, Olsen says, you're likely to have more to choose from as sellers adjust to higher mortgage interest rates and list their homes in greater numbers.

Read on to learn what else our economists are expecting for the coming year, and what to know whether you're buying, selling or renting.

2025 is the year, the house of cards will coming crashing down...

Housing prices are unlikely to significantly decrease until there's a substantial increase in housing supply. In the USA, there's a shortage of millions of housing units, and construction isn't keeping pace. The constant demand for housing, coupled with population growth, means that even a slight price drop attracts numerous buyers who quickly absorb the available supply. I'm considering purchasing affordable houses in 2025 and possibly venturing into stock investments. When is the best time to enter the stock market? Some people say it is profitable, but others say it's risky. Any advice?

I'm waiting three years later to move out of my parents's house, and 2025 is the year I turn 32. But it's the year I should be watching Pixar's A Bug's Life, Muppet Treasure Island, _Descendants 2, _ _Ice Age, _ Disney's _The Wild, _ _The Return of Jafar, _ and the Golden Films version of Peter Rabbit.
