Can you believe we’re already halfway through 2025? As we head into the second half of the year, a lot of buyers and sellers are asking the same thing: What’s next for the housing market? While no forecast is guaranteed, economists from Fannie Mae, Zillow, NAR, MBA, and others have released updated projections on everything from home prices and mortgage rates to sales activity and market recovery. In this post, I’ve rounded up the key takeaways from their mid-year outlooks—and added a breakdown of what they could mean for our local market here in SW Broward County . Home Price Forecasts Most housing economists agree: prices will rise, but not by much. And depending on where you live, they could even decline.

  For the first time in years, existing homes (yes, the older ones that often need updates) are selling for more than brand-new construction.  According to the latest numbers , the median price of an existing home is $429,400. For a newly built home? $410,800. That’s an $18,600 difference. So if you’ve been eyeing a resale home thinking it’s the “cheaper” option, you might want to check out all your options. Let’s break down what’s going on, why it matters, and what it means if you’re thinking about buying a home. The Numbers Say It All It used to be that brand-new homes were priced way above resales.
