Were We Wrong About the Housing Market? (+ 2025 Predictions)

Episode • Dec 27, 2024 • 39m

It’s what you’ve all been waiting for—our 2025 housing market predictions! We’re sharing where we think home prices, interest rates, and real estate will be over the next year. But we’re not just talking about 2025. We’re also going BACK and reviewing our 2024 housing market forecast, painfully detailing each part we got wrong and congratulating whoever got their predictions right. But how did top real estate companies like Zillow perform on their forecasts? Don’t worry; we’re rating their predictions as well!

Last year, some of us thought home prices would decline year-over-year, while others were confident we’d still see rising prices. We also had surprisingly accurate mortgage rate predictions, so does that mean we could be right for 2025, too? Stick around to find out! Plus, we’re sharing where we think will become the country's best real estate investing markets and naming the cities we believe have the best potential for building wealth!

In This Episode We Cover:

Updated 2025 housing market predictions and where home prices and mortgage rates could go

How we (and Zillow!) did on our 2024 housing market forecast (plus what we got WRONG!)

Real estate markets that have the most investment potential in 2025

And So Much More!
