Will 2025 Be a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market?
Early 2025 is expected to favor buyers, as inventory remains stable, and sellers may need to offer competitive pricing. By mid-to-late 2025, as demand rises, sellers could regain leverage.
Best Time for Buyers: January – April 2025, when fewer buyers compete, prices may be more negotiable. Best Time for Sellers: May – September 2025, when more buyers actively search, and market conditions could push prices higher.
Key Takeaways
For Buyers:
- Take advantage of early-year inventory and less competition.
- Consider negotiating prices before the market heats up in summer.
For Sellers:
- List in spring or summer to maximize interest and selling price.
- Present homes well and price competitively to attract serious buyers.
