Over the past 48 hours, the US housing industry has demonstrated a complex mix of stabilization and challenge. Housing inventory has reached a five-year high, propelled by a 7.2 percent increase in new listings for May compared to the previous year, though month-over-month supply declined slightly by 1.4 percent. Despite this, overall inventory growth has shifted more negotiating power to buyers, resulting in increased price reductions and longer listing times compared to the intense competition of the pandemic years.

According to Zillow’s latest projections, home values are expected to decline by 1.4 percent in 2025, a sharper trajectory than most of the last decade, as high mortgage rates and labor market concerns keep some buyers on the sidelines. However, existing home sales are forecast to reach 4.14 million for the year, representing a 1.9 percent increase over 2024. This modest uptick is attributed to sellers returning to the market, but sales volumes remain well below pre-pandemic levels.

Rents for single-family homes are predicted to rise by 2.8 percent in 2025, with multifamily rents up only 1.6 percent, reflecting the influence of new construction and increased vacancies. This cooling in rent growth stands in contrast to the rapid price escalations seen in recent years.

Industry sentiment among builders has softened. The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index for June fell to 35 for current sales conditions and to 40 for sales expectations over the next six months, highlighting cautious optimism amid ongoing challenges. Higher construction costs, ongoing tariffs, and the uncertainty tied to the current presidential administration continue to weigh on industry outlooks.

Compared to last year, home-price appreciation is expected to slow markedly, dropping from an average of 4.5 percent in 2024 to just 2 percent in 2025. The combination of increased inventory and stubbornly high mortgage rates means housing affordability remains a key issue, with many would-be buyers still priced out.

In response, industry leaders are focusing on efficiency and strategic pricing, with some builders offering incentives such as mortgage rate buydowns or discounts to attract buyers. While the overall market environment shows signs of improvement over 2024, significant hurdles remain as the sector adapts to evolving economic and policy landscapes.
