What Experts Say About Home Prices In 2025!

If you have been keeping an eye on the housing market—or considering a move—you might be wondering what is next for home prices. The latest Home Price Expectations Survey from Fannie Mae offers valuable insights into where the market may be heading.

The Key Takeaway? Prices Are Still Rising—Just at a Slower Pace

According to the report:

●      In 2025, home prices are projected to rise by 3.3%

●      In 2026, they are expected to increase by 3.7%

This reflects a shift from the rapid growth seen over the past few years. While the pace is moderating, home values are still climbing—just at a more sustainable rate.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers Buyers

A slower pace of growth may bring more balance to the market. This could mean fewer

bidding wars and more time to make thoughtful decisions. While prices are not going down, buyers may find it a bit easier to compete than in previous years.

Sellers

It is still a good time to list, but strategy matters. With home values continuing to rise, sellers who price appropriately and present their homes well can still attract strong offers. Today’s buyers are more selective, making preparation and marketing more important than ever.

The Market Is Adjusting—Not Crashing

What we are seeing is a healthy adjustment, not a downturn. The market is finding its balance, which is a positive sign for long-term stability.
