The U.S. housing market in 2025 feels… stuck. Buyers can’t afford homes, sellers won’t budge on prices, and builders are pulling back. It’s a standoff, and everyone is frustrated…but for different reasons. If you’ve been thinking the real estate market feels “WEIRD” you’re not alone!
In this video, I’m breaking down the “cruel summer” of real estate and what it means looking forward:
Why buying a home costs $1,200 more per month than in 2019
Why sellers are delisting instead of dropping prices
Why builders are pumping the brakes on new construction
Why the housing market looks totally different in the Midwest & Northeast vs the South & West
What it all means for buyers, sellers, and the future of real estate
