Feb 2025 Housing Market Update: Are Our Predictions Already Wrong?

This podcast episode provides a Q1 2025 housing market update. The host reviews national price increases (despite higher interest rates), rising inventory, and the surprising year-over-year growth in all 50 major US metro areas. He analyzes these trends alongside mortgage rates and delinquency rates, noting a slight uptick in delinquencies for FHA and VA loans as a potential area for future concern. The host concludes that while prices are rising nominally, inflation-adjusted prices remain relatively flat, and he cautions against expecting significant mortgage rate decreases in the near future.
