このコンテンツについて
Mortgage purchase applications have posted a 22-week growth streak, with nine of those weeks seeing double-digit year-over-year gains. This robust mortgage application activity suggests improving buyer confidence despite significant obstacles posed by higher borrowing costs. Over the past week, total pending home sales reached 396,652, marking continued year-over-year growth. Housing inventory is notably stronger compared to last year, growing from 831,110 to 853,180 units in the week ending July 4, 2025, compared to 645,713 to 652,518 for the same period in 2024. This active inventory is now back on par with pre-pandemic levels, offering buyers more choices and tempering some of the acute supply constraints that defined the past several years[1][2].
Mortgage rates have held steady, with the average 30-year fixed rate at 6.79 percent as of July 6, 2025. This persistent stability comes after years of volatility, though the current rate remains historically high and continues to pinch affordability for many buyers. Rate projections suggest only moderate decreases ahead, reinforcing the expectation that rates above 6 percent will likely remain the norm through at least the end of 2025[4]. Rising home prices have been accompanied by a rising trend in price reductions, with average May reductions of 17,962 dollars compared to 15,533 dollars a year earlier. This signals a willingness among sellers to negotiate, reflecting a modest rebalancing of market power[5].
Major industry voices, including Berkshire Hathaway, caution that conditions favoring rapid home price appreciation or sharply lower mortgage rates are unlikely to return soon. The mismatch between housing demand and available inventory persists, and many would-be buyers have opted to postpone purchasing, turning instead to the rental market or waiting for improved affordability[7]. On the regulatory front, local initiatives such as Denver’s new tax break pilot for middle-income housing projects highlight ongoing efforts to stimulate affordable development, though these have not yet shifted the national picture in a major way[3].
Consumer demand remains steady, but elevated costs and cautious optimism define the current mood. While active inventory is higher and price cuts are more common, meaningful relief from high prices and limited supply remains elusive compared to pre-pandemic norms. Industry leaders are responding by emphasizing flexibility, both for buyers and sellers, while tracking incremental policy and economic shifts for possible tailwinds in the months ahead[1][5][7].
