Based on our comprehensive data analysis and current market signals, here are some predictions and insights for 2025:
7.1 Increased Days on Market
The jump to 38 median days in January 2025 suggests that properties might take longer to sell as the market adjusts.

Sellers should prepare for longer listing times by pricing competitively and investing in high-quality marketing materials.
7.2 A Buyer’s Market on the Horizon
If properties continue to linger on the market, buyers may find themselves in a more favorable position. More negotiating power, potential price reductions, and an extended decision-making window could characterize the next phase of the market. Buyers should remain patient and leverage market data to time their purchases.
7.3 Continued Digital Transformation
Expect further integration of digital tools in the buying and selling process. With advancements in AI, virtual reality, and mobile connectivity, the entire home search experience will become even more efficient and personalized. Real estate professionals who adapt to these technologies will likely see enhanced engagement and faster transactions.
7.4 Economic and Interest Rate Factors
While local market trends are influenced by many factors, national economic conditions and interest rate fluctuations will continue to play a crucial role.
