The Outlook for the US Housing Market in 2025

If you're planning to buy or sell your home this year, here's an interesting look at where the real estate market is headed, based on an excerpt from a recent JPMorgan article dated February 10, 2025.

"With several variables impacting the U.S. housing market — from soaring home prices to rock-bottom demand — where’s the sector headed in 2025?"

The article lists these three key takeaways:

• J.P. Morgan Research expects house prices to rise by 3% overall in 2025.

• The higher-for-longer interest rate backdrop is here to stay, with mortgage rates expected to ease only slightly to 6.7% by the year end.

• President Trump’s policies could have complex implications for the housing market, particularly on the issue of affordability.
