Price Cuts Ahead: Zillow Downgrades 2025 Housing Market Forecast

More price cuts could be coming this year. Zillow just made headlines by revising its 2025 housing market forecast, now predicting home values to drop in much of the United States. But do other top housing market forecasters agree, and if home prices fall this year, does it put you in a better position as an investor to lock down discounted deals? Dave is unpacking Zillow’s new prediction, plus sharing his own take on what might happen next. This is not the first time Zillow has revised its 2025 housing market forecast. They’ve updated their predictions several times throughout the year, with the newest release being the most negative for home prices. Some markets in the US are even predicted to see drops of up to 10%—other markets could have price growth, while the rest of the nation struggles. What’s causing the downward trend in home prices? Is it tariffs, inflation fears, signs of a recession, or just too much housing supply and insufficient demand? We’re breaking it down in this episode. If you plan on buying or selling this year, don’t miss this.  In This Episode We Cover: Zillow’s new 2025 housing market forecast and why price declines seem likely  The best and worst housing markets for home price growth (some could fall by 10%) What Fannie Mae, Wells Fargo, and JP Morgan are predicting for 2025 home prices Is this the start of a housing market crash, or just a break for buyers?
