  • US Housing Market Sees Mixed Signals Amid Affordability Woes and Inventory Shifts

    US Housing Market Sees Mixed Signals Amid Affordability Woes and Inventory Shifts
    2025/07/18
    The US housing industry this week is showing mixed but slightly improved sentiment as builder confidence in July edged up following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The National Association of Home Builders Housing Market Index rose to 33, up a single point from June, but this remains among its lowest readings in more than two years. Key challenges remain: affordability is at historic lows and elevated mortgage rates continue to depress demand. The average 30-year US mortgage rate climbed to 6.75 percent, its second consecutive weekly increase, a level on par with rates a year ago. These elevated borrowing costs are a major barrier for prospective buyers and are expected to keep the market sluggish through the remainder of 2025.

    Inventory, however, has seen a notable uptick. Active housing inventory in June surged 17 percent year over year to 1.36 million homes, nearing a six-year high. This growth in available homes has helped nudge the national market closer to balance, with 22 of the 50 largest metro areas now considered neutral, up from just eight markets a year ago.

    Price adjustments are increasingly common as sellers try to attract limited buyers. A record 26.6 percent of listings saw price cuts in June. Nationally, the typical home value now stands at 367,369 dollars. Some metro areas are experiencing annual price growth, most notably Cleveland and New York, while others such as Austin, Tampa, and Miami are posting sharp declines.

    New home prices have declined in several pandemic hot spots. Jacksonville, Naples, and Miami saw new home prices drop between 13 and 22 percent since their peaks. Meanwhile, markets like San Jose remain exceptionally expensive, with average new-home prices around 1.8 million dollars.

    Builders and industry leaders are responding to these challenges by increasing incentives, implementing average price cuts of 5 percent, and lobbying for further policy reforms. Still, with single-family home permits down 6 percent year-to-date and builder traffic at a multi-year low, industry expectations for starts remain weak, a contrast to the slightly more active environment prior to 2023.

    Trade policy uncertainty, supply chain volatility caused by tariff threats, and a slow drop-off in inflation have further complicated recovery for both buyers and builders. The market is showing early signs of stabilization, but affordability and borrowing constraints remain the dominant themes in the near term.

  • "US Housing Market Cools: Affordability Crunch and Shifting Trends"

    "US Housing Market Cools: Affordability Crunch and Shifting Trends"
    2025/07/16
    The US housing market is showing clear signs of cooling as of mid-July 2025. Mortgage rates remain stubbornly high, with the average 30-year fixed rate hovering near 6.8 percent, almost double what buyers saw just four years ago. Elevated rates are dampening demand, pushing many potential buyers to the sidelines and making homeownership less attainable for millions. This affordability crunch has caused existing-home sales to dip 0.7 percent year-over-year in June 2025, while median prices have stagnated or even declined in over half of the nation’s 100 largest markets.

    Price growth slowed to just 1.3 percent annually in June, the weakest pace in two years. Markets like Austin, Tampa, and several Florida cities, including Cape Coral, have seen prices drop significantly, with Austin experiencing a decline of more than 100,000 dollars from peak values. The condo segment is under even more pressure, down 1.4 percent year-over-year, compared to a still-positive, but slowing, 1.6 percent rise for single-family homes.

    Inventory is on the rise, now at a 4.6-month supply nationally, up sharply from 3.8 months in 2024. Listings are sitting longer, and there has been a 47 percent increase in properties taken off the market without selling—a symptom of sellers not finding willing or able buyers. Regionally, the West and South are seeing the sharpest declines in both sales and prices, while the Midwest and Northeast are more stable.

    On the supply side, builders are cautious. The National Association of Home Builders forecasts a decline in single-family housing starts for the rest of 2025, citing a mix of demand uncertainty and rising material and labor costs. In response to these headwinds, industry leaders are doubling down on market intelligence: the National Association of Realtors just launched a new data dashboard to help agents better analyze affordability and navigate shifting market trends.

    Compared to recent years’ red-hot market, today’s landscape is marked by moderation and increased risk for both buyers and sellers. Unless mortgage rates drop further—NAR projects that a fall near 6 percent could add more than 5 million qualifying households—the market seems likely to remain sluggish, with only modest relief forecast for 2026.

  • "US Housing Market Shifts: Rising Inventory, Slowing Sales, and Changing Buyer Dynamics"

    "US Housing Market Shifts: Rising Inventory, Slowing Sales, and Changing Buyer Dynamics"
    2025/07/15
    The US housing market has entered a period of notable transition over the past 48 hours, reflecting accumulating pressures from high interest rates, shifting inventory, and fresh consumer behavior. As of July 15, 2025, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate stands at roughly 6.7 percent, having dipped briefly below 6.5 percent in early April but quickly rebounding. These stubbornly high rates—much higher than the record 2.65 percent seen in early 2021—are tamping down buyer enthusiasm and slowing home sales in many regions.

    Recent labor market strength has boosted some consumer confidence; job gains in June nudged the unemployment rate down and outpaced inflation, slightly increasing purchasing power. However, the robust jobs data also quashed hopes for imminent Federal Reserve rate cuts, sending borrowing costs back up and limiting affordability for many families.

    Inventory is on the rise: the number of homes for sale has now increased for 20 straight months, reaching the highest post-pandemic levels. This expanded inventory, especially in Metro areas of the Sun Belt, has given buyers more leverage. In these regions, sellers face slower-moving properties and a need for price cuts. Notable buyer markets now include places like Cape Coral, San Antonio, and Phoenix, all of which witnessed surging remote-work-fueled demand during the pandemic boom. By contrast, supply remains constrained in much of the Midwest and Northeast.

    Price growth is flattening on a national scale. According to the Case-Shiller index, national prices are essentially flat year-to-date, and ICE data shows annual price growth slowed to just 1.3 percent in June, the lowest in two years. Some economists warn that, unless mortgage rates fall, the housing sector could soon become a significant drag on the broader economy.

    A record $56 billion in US homes were purchased by foreign buyers over the past year, up 33 percent, with nearly half of these buyers paying cash—far above the share among domestic buyers.

    Industry leaders and homebuilders are increasingly offering incentives and price flexibility to attract buyers, especially in overstocked Sun Belt markets. While fears of a major price collapse remain unlikely, the market is tilting in favor of buyers for the first time in years as supply rebounds and sellers adjust expectations.
