Summary

Home prices could weaken, bringing big bargains to patient buyers who’ve been sitting on the sidelines. The housing market is seeing some turbulence, even if it remains more stable than other parts of the economy. Inventory is rising, and sellers are in a tough position, with many buyers still waiting out the market. Stock sell-offs and tariffs are keeping fear high, and the housing market could freeze because of it. Where is the housing market headed? We’re catching you up on all the data and big headlines in this April 2025 housing market update. First up: inventory. A few years ago, there was none—now, we may have too much. More homes are hitting the market, which could spell trouble for sellers. With inflation fears and stock market uncertainty dragging down demand, prices may soften. Don’t worry, this isn’t another 2008, even though a certain “delinquency chart” would have you thinking so. We’re also hitting on the condo market and why more than half of condo sellers should prepare to accept an under-asking price…and this could be just the start. In This Episode We Cover: April 2025 housing market update: home prices, inventory, mortgage rates, and more Why inventory is rising so quickly now and what it means for buyers (good news?) Home price predictions and whether or not we’ll see prices fall even more in inventory-heavy markets The condo market’s notable sign of weakness and why price drops are becoming more common With more economic pain, will foreclosures increase? Here’s why mortgage delinquencies aren’t exploding And So Much More! Links from the Show Join BiggerPockets for FREE Let Us Know What You Thought of the Show!
