Your home
Spring is a popular time to buy a home — and for good reason. The weather’s nicer, more homes tend to hit the market, and people are ready for a fresh start. But in 2025, the spring market looks a little different than it has in years past.
Rates are still a bit higher than what we saw during the pandemic boom, but they’ve been slowly inching down. Inventory? It’s improving in some areas, but in others, homes are still going quickly. That means if you’re planning to buy, it’s important to stay flexible, move fast when you see something you like, and have your financing lined up early.
The good news? There are more listings now than last year, which means more options for buyers. And while higher rates might seem like a downside, they’ve actually helped cool down the competition just enough in some markets to give buyers more breathing room.
The key this season is being prepared. Make sure you're pre-approved, know your budget, and work with a lender and agent who can help you move quickly when the right opportunity comes along.
Buying a home might feel different this year — but with the right game plan, it's still totally doable. And who knows? Your dream home might be waiting for you right around the corner.
