Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) reports a significant 26.4% year-over-year decline in Canadian users searching for U.S. homes on Redfin.com in May 2025. The decline is attributed to deteriorating U.S.-Canada relations following new 25% tariffs on Canadian imports and a weakened Canadian dollar.
The impact is particularly pronounced in major metros, with Canadian searches dropping 55.2% in Houston, 53% in Philadelphia, and 47% in Chicago. Popular snowbird destinations like Miami and Orlando saw approximately 30% decreases, while Phoenix and Riverside experienced 23% declines. This trend represents a significant shift, considering Canadians were previously the largest group of international U.S. homebuyers, purchasing $5.9 billion worth of U.S. real estate in 2024.
Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) reports that the U.S. housing market is showing mixed signals as the median home-sale price reached an all-time high of $400,125, up 1.4% year-over-year. New listings declined 0.7% year-over-year, marking the first decrease in nearly six months, while pending sales fell 3.2%.
The market is seeing some relief as the weekly average mortgage rate dropped to 6.67%, its lowest level since early April. Active listings increased 14.1% year-over-year, though this represents the smallest increase in over a year. The median monthly mortgage payment stands at $2,742, the lowest level in 4 months.
Regionally, Detroit led price gains with a 10.1% increase, while Oakland saw the largest decline at -3.7%. The market shows signs of cooling with homes taking longer to sell (median 37 days) and fewer properties selling above list price (28.4% vs. 32% last year).
Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) reports that U.S. condo prices experienced their second-largest decline on record in May 2025, falling 2.2% year-over-year to $354,100. This significant drop contrasts with single-family home prices, which rose 0.5% to $462,206.
The condo market slowdown is marked by an 11.9% decrease in sales, with properties taking an average of 46 days to sell - the longest May duration since 2015. The market imbalance shows approximately 80% more condo sellers than buyers, primarily driven by rising HOA fees, insurance costs, and special assessments.
Regionally, Florida and Texas markets showed the steepest declines, with Deltona, FL recording a 32.2% price drop. Conversely, eastern markets demonstrated resilience, with New Brunswick, NJ seeing a 14.9% price increase. The report highlights particular challenges in Florida, where new regulations following the 2021 Surfside collapse have led to increased HOA fees and special assessments, further dampening demand.
