Selling Your Home? Insider: Avoid Mistakes With Trusted Advice

If you’ve been contemplating selling your home, you’re not alone... and you might be in a better position than you think.

Despite higher mortgage rates and a growing number of homes on the market, home prices have continued to climb in 2024, surprising many experts. In fact, this year is projected to close with a 4% increase in home prices, a major jump from just 1.1% in 2023. And the outlook for 2025? Continued growth, with prices expected to rise another 3.7%, though at a slightly more moderate pace.

So, What’s Driving These Trends?

At first glance, rising inventory (more homes available for sale) might seem like it would cool prices, and to an extent, that’s true. We’re forecasting inventory to be 11.7% higher this year compared to 2024. But on the other hand, mortgage rates are expected to dip slightly, which tends to fuel buyer activity. When you combine these opposing forces, you get steady (but modest) price growth.

Even with mortgage payments remaining relatively steady, there’s a potential silver lining: if household incomes grow or tax rates decrease under future economic policies, homes could become more affordable, drawing even more motivated buyers into the market.

What Does This Mean for You as a Seller?

If you’re considering selling your home, now is a strategic time to make a move. Buyers are adjusting to current mortgage rates, and the market continues to reward well-prepared, competitively priced homes with strong offers.

That’s where we come in.
