Despite what you may be hearing in the headlines, experts agree home prices are still projected to rise overall in 2025 – just at a slower pace than we’ve seen recently.

 
On average, forecasters say it’ll be about a 1.5-2% increase nationwide this year. While some markets are seeing prices level off or dip slightly right now, a dramatic drop across the board isn’t expected.
Prices may even be what some would argue as closer to flat by the end of this year.
But context matters, and what you should always keep in mind is, nationally, prices are up 55% compared to just 5 years ago.

 
So, some slight declines don’t drastically change the game.
But every market is different.
 

So, let’s talk about what prices are doing in our area and what that means for your plans.
