The 2025 housing market has already defied most expectations, but a worrying “shift” could throw everything off track. Home prices keep rising in every major metro—even with interest rates stuck in the sevens. It seems that nothing can stop the wave of demand hitting home sellers even as affordability reaches lows we haven’t seen in decades. But what could be the housing market’s kryptonite—the one thing that could lead to lower prices and distress in the market?

Today, we’re giving you a Q1 housing market update with the latest data coming in from January 2025, sharing must-know metrics about home sales, prices, mortgage rates, buyer demand, and even mortgage delinquencies.

Is Dave already off on his 2025 housing market predictions? He could be, as housing has seen unexpected strength despite last year’s big election, inflation rising once again, and interest rates more than double what they were just a few years ago. Will we see mortgage rates (and prices) drop at any point this year? What’s the one thing that could flip this housing market? We’re getting into the mystery metric you MUST watch to know what’s coming next.
