Home price signals continue to weaken for 2025.

For three years the story has been, "Home sales are down, but home prices keep climbing."

I think we're likely soon to see, "Home sales are finally climbing as home prices dip."

Back in February I was on HousingWire tracking all the ways our housing would be taken from us. I was sure the first thing this administration was going to do was exactly that. Then they focused on taking away our healthcare too. But now it’s the food that’s gonna do it.

The food.

Our food.

In this week's housing data another price metric ticks south:

Price Reductions

➡️ The percent of homes on the market with a price cut from the original list price inched up to 33.1% of active listings

That's very unusual for January.

Details in this week's HousingWire/Altos video.
