2025 Home Price Forecasts: What Sellers & Buyers Need to Know
The Pace of Growth Is Slowing - But Prices Are Still Rising
We’re not in 2021 anymore, and that’s a good thing. According to recent expert projections, home prices across the U.S. are expected to continue rising, but at a much more manageable pace than in previous years. That means we're looking at a market that's stabilizing - not crashing.
A Sustainable Market
Is a Healthy Market
While some markets may see prices flatten or dip slightly, we’re not seeing signs of a major downturn. In fact, the overall forecast shows positive growth—with a national average increase of about 1.5%. Here’s what some of the experts are saying:
- CoreLogic: +3.4%
- HPES: +3.0%
- Fannie Mae: +2.8%
- Realtor.com: +2.5%
- Zillow: -2.0% (one of the few projecting a decline)
Why Silicon Valley's
Story Is Different
The national numbers are helpful, but real estate is always hyper-local. What’s happening in LA or Austin isn’t necessarily what’s happening in San Jose, Cupertino, or Saratoga.
"The national market might be cooling, but the story varies neighborhood to neighborhood".
If you’re planning to make a move in the South Bay, working with a local agent who understands your zip code—not just your price range—is more important than ever.
