The US housing industry over the past 48 hours continues to reflect a market in flux, marked by diverging regional trends and persistent affordability challenges. Cotality’s July 1, 2025 midyear report notes that while pending home sales rose 10 percent year over year in May, closed sales dropped 14 percent. This widening gap points to tough financial conditions for buyers, with home prices, property taxes, and high mortgage rates all creating obstacles. Notably, 6.2 percent of home listings were withdrawn in April, the highest rate of delistings since 2011, highlighting seller caution as well.

Listing prices remain on an upward trajectory, especially in metro areas with robust job growth and limited inventory. Miami saw a 9.4 percent annual increase in home values as of May 2025, Austin surged 7.2 percent, and Charlotte gained 6.8 percent. These markets still favor sellers and often generate multiple offers on competitively priced properties. Conversely, some pandemic-era hotspots are cooling off, with Boise experiencing a 3.1 percent year-over-year price drop and Phoenix down 2.4 percent. This softness is attributed to increased listings, fewer investors, and growing affordability concerns.

Inventory nationwide is gradually rising, providing a glimmer of hope for buyers after years of supply constraints. Still, mortgage performance is stable countrywide, though regional disparities are widening. No major regulatory changes or new federal housing initiatives have been announced in the past week. Market leaders are responding to these conditions by pulling back on new builds in riskier markets and expanding incentives in high-growth areas, aiming to balance risk and capture demand.

Consumer behavior is also shifting. Buyers are increasingly price sensitive and willing to back out of deals when costs exceed their budgets. This is a marked change from the bidding wars of previous years, underscoring evolving priorities amid financial pressure.

Compared to earlier this year, the market is more uncertain, with rising inventory and softer sales signaling the end of extreme seller dominance. The next few months will reveal whether increased listings and softening prices in certain markets will create more opportunities for buyers or simply reflect an industry recalibrating to new economic realities.
