2025 Real Estate Trends

Are you thinking of buying or selling a home in the Atlanta area? 2025 Real Estate Trends are optimistic, with mortgage rates on a downward trajectory and home prices rising at a steady, manageable pace.

Key Trends in the Atlanta Housing Market

• Mortgage Rate Outlook: Rates are projected to decrease gradually in 2025, offering buyers more affordable monthly payments. This shift is expected to bring more buyers back into the market, boosting demand.

• Affordability Gains: Buyers will have greater budget flexibility as mortgage rates ease. More buyers entering the market will also benefit sellers, making 2025 a potentially active year for real estate.

• Home Prices Rising Moderately: Nationally, home prices are forecasted to increase by around 2.5% in 2025, returning to healthier, more sustainable growth. In Atlanta, we’re likely to see similar trends, with prices rising modestly rather than surging.

  
  

What Experts Are Saying

Charlie Dougherty, Director and Senior Economist at Wells Fargo notes that easing rates will encourage buyers who have been on the sidelines due to affordability concerns. This uptick in demand could increase home competition, especially as inventory levels remain below historical norms.

Meanwhile, Lance Lambert of ResiClub emphasizes that regional variations may occur while the national trend is for modest growth. Some areas might see slightly faster price increases, while others could experience slower growth. This makes it critical to understand what’s happening locally, even from neighborhood to neighborhood, when planning a purchase or sale.

Why It Matters for Atlanta

• More Opportunities: The combination of falling rates and manageable price increases presents opportunities for buyers and sellers.

• Expert Guidance: I can help you make the most of these market dynamics by strategically timing your move.
