One of the most exciting predictions for 2025 is the projected increase in housing inventory. The number of homes for sale is expected to grow by 15%, giving buyers more options to find the perfect property.
Mike Simonsen, Founder of Altos Research, shared:
"2025 is poised to continue the trend of rising inventory across the country. We’ll probably finish 2025 with 15% more homes available than we have now."
This increase in inventory means fewer bidding wars and more negotiating power for buyers. It’s a great opportunity to explore homes that meet your needs and budget.
