Homeowners and future buyers! Big changes are happening in the real estate market, and I’m here to break it all down for you. Let’s dive into the latest housing trends that you NEED to watch.
Hi, I’m Tanja Odzak, eXp Realty. I love helping people. I’m a Senior Level Realtor and I help people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay!
First up, the supply of homes for sale.
Good news for buyers, there are more homes on the market, which means more options. Last year at this time nationally there were 664,745 ( six hundred sixty four thousand and seven hundred forty five) active listings on the market. Fast forward to 2025 and that number has jumped up to 847,825 (eight hundred forty seven thousand and eight hundred twenty five). That is a 27.5% increase in inventory year over year.
Now let’s talk about home prices!
Prices are still rising, but at a slower and healthier pace compared to previous years. Nationally the median home price went from $383,800 this time last year to $398,400. That is a 3.8% increase in home appreciation. This shows nationally the market is stabilizing. This is great news for both buyers and sellers.
Finally, let’s talk about the time homes are spending on the market.
Because inventory is growing, we are seeing longer days on the market. Meaning homes are not selling as fast and buyers have more time to make decisions. Nationally, the average days on market increased from 61 days to 66 days year over year, which is an 8.2% rise.
Of course, this is what is happening nationally, but if you would like to talk about what’s happening in your neighborhood, and whether selling or buying is the right move for you now, Call me today, and let’s talk about it! I’m Tanja and I sell homes. I’m a seasoned East Bay expert with a 5-star rating, and I’d be happy to help you figure out your next move. Call me today!
