Housing Prices Are Rising, But Not Like Before: What It Means for Sellers, Buyers, and Investors in 2025…

Real Estate Truth

By Demetri Stakias

The latest data is in: and it confirms what many of us have already felt on the ground:

➡️ US home price growth is slowing.
➡️ Mortgage rates are stuck near 7%.
➡️ Affordability remains a major hurdle.

A new Reuters poll shows that US housing prices are expected to grow by just 3.5% annually through 2027 —the slowest rate since 2011. Add in tariffs on building materials and rising labor costs, and we’re seeing fewer new homes, smaller floor plans, and more buyers priced out entirely.

So, what does this mean for you?


If You’re a Homeowner Thinking of Selling

You’re in a unique window right now. Despite slower growth, many homeowners still have significant equity built up from the past decade.

But don’t wait too long.

High interest rates mean fewer qualified buyers , and buyers today are far more cautious. That means:

  • Homes need to be priced right.
  • Properties must be positioned as solutions , not just listings.
  • Transparency and flexibility in negotiations are more valuable than ever.

At Real Estate Relief, we help sellers understand exactly where they stand in this shifting market. If you’re dealing with tenant issues, an inherited home, or just need a fast, fair offer, we’ll give you real options—not runaround.


If You’re a Buyer or Investor

Patience is no longer just a virtue: it’s a strategy.

Many buyers are opting to wait out the rates or look for creative financing models. But investors? They’re getting smart. Especially on the global stage:

  • In India , new alternative investment funds are targeting premium real estate with strong cash flow and appreciation upside.
  • In Saudi Arabia , tokenized real estate is gaining momentum—offering fractional ownership at a fraction of the cost.

The message is clear: flexibility, innovation, and patience are the new edge in this market.


What This Means for the Market Overall

  • Home prices are still rising , but the frenzy is over.
  • New construction will likely contract , especially in the US, due to tariffs and labor shortages.
  • Buyers are pickier. Sellers must adapt.
  • Affordability is still the biggest pressure point —and it’s not going away.
