Redfin (RDFN) reports that housing costs remain near record highs, with the median monthly mortgage payment reaching $2,860, just $25 below the all-time high and up 3.6% year over year. The high costs are attributed to elevated mortgage rates at 6.86% and a 1.9% increase in median home sale prices.
However, relief appears to be on the horizon as home prices are declining in 11 of the 50 largest metro areas, led by Oakland (-4.9%), Dallas (-4.5%), and Jacksonville (-3%). Redfin economists forecast price declines by the end of 2025. The market shows signs of shifting in buyers' favor, with new listings up 3.9% and total inventory up 11.9% year over year. Notably, about 14% of pending deals are being canceled, the highest rate since the pandemic's start.
Buyers are gaining negotiating power as sellers become more flexible, offering price reductions and concessions, particularly for properties that have been listed for extended periods.
