A more balanced housing market in 2025 could mean renewed activity, especially for buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines.
Markets could see the highest for-sale inventory since December 2019 next year, with Realtor.com (NWSA) estimating that nearly 20% of listings will see price cuts and home sales will grow 1.5% year over year to 4.07 million.
