Price cuts surge across the housing market as inventory bounces back in a big way. The “healthier” housing market is starting to show, and the “gap” between buyers and sellers is shrinking. Zillow's Orphe Divounguy is back to give a sneak peek at their latest housing market data, which shows encouraging signs for buyers, agents, lenders, and anyone who wants the housing market to get back in action! After Zillow recently forecasted a home price decline in 2025, many saw this as a bearish signal for housing. But Orphe, Senior Economist at Zillow, says that this is instead a good sign for the market. With inventory rising, sellers are getting more realistic, meaning lower prices and more choice for buyers. But what about mortgage rates—could they also drop and fuel even greater affordability? Orphe is sharing his mortgage rate prediction as well. How will trade wars and tariffs affect the housing market with so many Americans on the financial edge? Could higher inflation and a potential recession breed big trouble for the housing market? We're getting Orphe's refreshingly data-backed (and surprisingly optimistic) take on what's to come in the rest of 2025. In This Episode We Cover Zillow's latest May 2025 housing market update (and GOOD news for buyers) Record price cuts: why sellers are starting to get realistic Housing markets seeing the most pain, and which to think twice about before investing How trade wars and tariffs could hit housing, and Orphe's take on inflation Is a recession really coming? Why Orphe isn't so sure that the writing is on the wall And So Much More!

High mortgage rates, low inventory and unaffordable prices have left a lot of prospective home-buyers on the sidelines again this year. In the first installment of our special series, “Buying a Home in 2025: Navigating the Crunch,” host Ariana Aspuru explores the challenges of today's real estate market. She's joined by Wall Street Journal reporter Veronica Dagher and Zillow's senior economist Orphe Divounguy, who will provide insights on what buyers can expect in 2025 like the rising cost of home insurance, stubborn inflation, and if mortgage rates will fall. Plus, we break down how the National Association of Realtors settlement has changed the homebuying process. Additional episodes of the series drop on Sundays in April.

Only two months into 2025, Zillow has significantly changed its original housing market prediction. With rising inventory, suppressed buyer demand from high mortgage rates, and sluggish market sentiment, Zillow's home price forecast has been downgraded. Why the change, and what data is leading Zillow to project little or no home price growth this year? Orphe Divounguy, Senior Economist at Zillow, is on to share. With a downgraded forecast, the question becomes: is the housing market leveling off, or could we be in store for home price dips? How will rent prices be affected with the massive wave of multifamily construction finally starting to taper off? With less supply coming online, will these units get absorbed, resulting in higher rents for single-family homes? Have we finally reached the supply-demand equilibrium, putting the housing market on pause? What's the one thing that could reignite buyer demand and lead to home price appreciation? Or, is this the new normal, and with little interest rate relief in sight, are we headed for years of a stagnant housing market? We're getting Orphe's expert take! In This Episode We Cover Zillow's new February 2025 housing market forecast (and the sizable home price forecast downgrade) Why home prices are stagnating, and the one crucial factor causing this Mortgage rate predictions and whether we'll see some real rate relief this year Single-family and multifamily rent price predictions for 2025 (which will see the most growth?) What should investors do: sit on the sidelines or capitalize on current conditions? And So Much More!
