Current Housing Market Trends

As we assess the housing market, we note several trends set against the backdrop of the Pandemic Housing Boom which lasted from Summer 2020 to Spring 2022:

• Inventory levels for active homes plummeted as homebuyer demand skyrocketed.
• Fast forward to 2025, many housing markets have returned to pre-pandemic inventory levels.

Key Inventory Insights

As of April 2025, 69 out of 200 major markets have managed to surpass pre-pandemic inventory levels:

• January 2025: 41 markets above 2019 levels.
• February 2025: 44 markets exceeding 2019 inventory.
• March 2025: 58 markets back on track.

This rebound has shifted power back to homebuyers in several key areas, although not universally applicable across all regions.

Regional Analysis

Many markets in the Gulf Coast and Mountain West regions saw dramatic price increases during the pandemic, pushing housing fundamentals beyond local income levels. As demand waned and interest rates rose, these areas have experienced a softening in the market. For example:

• Cape Coral, Florida and San Antonio, Texas faced challenges as reliance on local incomes became critical.
• Increased new home supply in the Sun Belt regions encourages builders to make price adjustments, affecting resale market dynamics.

Conversely, the Northeast and Midwest markets have remained tighter, experiencing limited new construction and holding more power among sellers.

Current Market Where Sellers Hold Power

As of the latest reports, 37 of the nation’s largest metro markets are still experiencing inventory levels at least -50% below pre-pandemic levels. These markets are crucial for sellers who wish to maintain leverage.

Future Predictions: Tight Markets and Price Trends

Generally, regions where inventory has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels are tending to see weaker home price growth or even declines. In stark contrast, tighter inventory areas, such as:

• Orlando, Florida: Expected to experience pricing weakness through 2025.

According to ResiClub PRO’s monthly inventory tracker, tight inventories are generally conducive to sustained home price hierarchies.

Conclusion

As the landscape of the housing market continues to evolve, the partnership between ResiClub and Epum positions real estate professionals to better navigate and respond to these dynamic changes.
