2025 Wraps with a 30-Year Low in Home Sales — What’s Next?

Описание: The Realtor.com® economics team video update gives you the relevant economic and real estate information you need to know each week every Friday to navigate the housing market as a homebuyer, home seller, or industry professional.

For the week ending January 23, Realtor.com® Chief Economist Danielle Hale discusses the upcoming Fed meeting and what the latest labor market and inflation data mean for the decision. Danielle discusses the new record in existing home sales, how housing inventory played a role late in the year, and what the housing data in early January could signal for the year ahead.

Finally, Danielle discusses a milestone update on mortgage rate lock-in and the trends driving mortgage rates to buyer-friendly levels.
