Why Is the 2025 Housing Market So Slow?

Buyers focus on monthly payments, not home prices. For a $400K home, mortgages can be $800–$1,000 more than rent, deterring tenants from buying. High interest rates and increasing inventory (up 20% in 2024) add pressure. Why is it slower now than last year, when most things are similar? There is always a group that will jump last and first into something. The prior group has all jumped in. We have more of a conservative group now sitting on the sidelines.

• High Monthly Costs: Mortgage payments outpace rent, slowing demand.
• Inventory Surge: More homes mean longer sale times. Non-serious sellers who do have to sell will pull their listings and sit on the sidelines for a better market, shrinking the inventory. Do not list today to test the market, as it is not that kind of market.
• Buyer Hesitation: High rates make buyers wait for deals because high rates and high home prices create a gap between rent and mortgage payments.

Why Act Now?

Waiting risks price cuts as inventory grows. Sellers acting before summer 2025 can leverage current demand. If you need to sell now, then act now. If you want to sell, you might want to wait it out. 

Market Snapshot

In 2024, the median sale time was 45 days, up 18% from 2023, pushing demand for quick cash closes.
