What’s Really Happening in the Housing Market Right Now?

“How’s the market?” It’s a smart question, especially with so much noise in the headlines. Let’s break down what experts are saying nationally—and why your local market matters even more.

National Market Snapshot

According to the latest expert forecasts, home prices across the U.S. are expected to rise between 1.5% and 2% over the next year. That may sound modest compared to recent years, but it’s important to understand this reflects a healthy normalization, not a decline.

At the same time, mortgage rates are projected to settle in the mid-6% range by mid-to-late 2025. While not the record lows of the past, these rates still offer buyers the ability to lock in long-term value, especially in strong housing markets.

Why Local Insight Is Key


While national trends are useful for context, real estate is always hyper-local. What’s happening in Boulder, Louisville, Erie, or Longmont may look very different than the national average.

Are prices in your neighborhood leveling off, ticking up, or holding strong? Are homes selling fast? Is inventory loosening up? These are the types of questions I’d be happy to help you answer.

Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just exploring your options, I offer local insights that go beyond the headlines—so you can make confident, informed decisions.
