Navigating Housing’s Next Phase
As of mid-2025, the U.S. housing market faces ongoing economic uncertainty, high mortgage rates and affordability challenges, with regional variations in inventory shaping buyer behavior.

Tariffs, inflation and a cautious Federal Reserve policy add further complexity, while demand for single-family rentals stays strong amid declining homeownership affordability and waning international buyer activity.
