Summary

Today, we’re releasing our 2025 housing market predictions, and let’s just say we’re feeling optimistic about the future. Many of you may have been waiting for a housing crash or correction. But where is it? In short, it never happened. Home prices kept climbing, rent prices finally stabilized, and mortgage rates stayed at eye-watering highs. What’s coming next for the 2025 housing market? Are things about to get better (or worse) for homebuyers and real estate investors? This is when Dave takes out his crystal ball (federal housing data and spreadsheets) to predict what’s to come in the new year. He’s giving his full forecast on three crucial topics, home prices, mortgage rates, and rent growth, and explaining his predictions and reasoning behind them. If Dave is correct, it may be a good year for real estate investing. Don’t believe us? Stick around! Coming up after this episode, Dave is piggybacking off of these predictions to show you why real estate could be the single greatest investment in the coming years. If you’re on the fence about buying a home or investing for the first time, this data-driven episode could get you out of analysis paralysis! In This Episode We Cover: Why 2025 is already shaping up to be an excellent year for real estate investors and homeowners Dave’s 2025 mortgage rate range and whether we’ll see some interest rate relief The reason why home prices could still grow even with so many potential homebuyers sitting on the sidelines Are foreclosures and mortgage delinquencies a threat to the housing market? Why 2026 could be the year everything changes for rent prices (and what to expect in 2025) And So Much More! Links from the Show Join BiggerPockets for FREE Let Us Know What You Thought of the Show!

0:00.0	It's the new year and I am feeling optimistic.
0:04.2	I am excited to say, I think the real estate investing community is in for a good year in 2025.
0:10.6	And today, we're going to kick it off right.
0:17.6	Hey, everyone, it's Dave.
0:19.0	Welcome to the Bigger Pockets Real Estate podcast, the show that helps you achieve financial independence through real estate.
0:25.4	And I said it at the top of the show, but I will say it again.
0:27.7	I think it's going to be a good year for anyone who is looking to move themselves one step closer to financial independence through real estate investing.
0:37.3	And it's important to note that I don't always say this.
0:40.4	I've actually been pretty candid the last few years that we were in for a long slog.
0:45.9	But as we enter 2025, I'm sort of feeling like we've turned a bit of a corner in the real

1:13.5	strong of a case as I can for why real estate is just as good of an investment today in
1:19.3	2025 as it has ever been. I truly believe that. I am putting my money where my mouth is.
1:26.0	Basically, I'm just stoked on real estate right now,
1:28.1	and I am eager to share with you why I think you should be too over the next couple of years.
1:33.1	But first, today we're going to talk about what's happening in the market, what to expect in
1:36.4	the coming year. That's what's up. So first, I'm going to start with the big picture. And to me,
1:41.2	I would phrase it as this. I think we are close to the bottom for this housing cycle.
