As we step into 2025, Zillow has released its housing market predictions, offering insights into what buyers, sellers, and investors can expect in the coming year. At Corken + Company Real Estate Group, we stay ahead of market trends to guide our clients confidently. Let’s explore Zillow’s key predictions and what they mean for the Denver Metro real estate market.
Key Predictions for 2025
Zillow’s forecasts highlight a balanced housing market with steady growth, making it an ideal environment for both buyers and sellers.
• Moderate Price Growth: After years of rapid appreciation, home prices are expected to grow at a more moderate pace in 2025. This stabilization benefits buyers, providing more predictability in home searches, while still offering sellers opportunities to achieve strong returns.
• Inventory Challenges Continue: Despite increased new construction, inventory is predicted to remain tight, particularly in desirable markets like Denver Metro. Limited supply will keep competition healthy but manageable.
• Millennial and Gen Z Buyers Drive Demand: Millennials and the oldest members of Gen Z are entering their peak home-buying years, creating sustained demand for starter homes and move-up properties.
• Mortgage Rate Stabilization: While rates remain higher than the record lows of recent years, they are expected to stabilize, allowing buyers to plan with greater confidence.
What This Means for Buyers in Denver Metro
The 2025 housing market offers exciting opportunities for buyers, particularly those ready to make confident moves in a balanced market.
• Increased Predictability: With moderate price growth and stabilized mortgage rates, buyers can make informed decisions without the urgency of past market frenzies.
• Act on Limited Inventory: While the market is less frenzied, inventory remains limited. Acting quickly when you find the right home is essential.
• Focus on New Construction: Builders are addressing inventory challenges by increasing new construction, offering buyers modern, move-in-ready homes with lower maintenance needs.
What This Means for Sellers in Denver Metro
For sellers, Zillow’s predictions indicate continued strong demand and opportunities to sell at competitive prices.
• Pricing Matters: As price growth moderates, setting the right price becomes even more critical. An experienced real estate team can help you position your home to attract serious buyers.
• Highlight Unique Features: With buyers becoming more selective, showcasing what makes your home special—whether it’s energy-efficient upgrades, modern design, or location—is key to standing out.
