US will see moderating home price growth for rest of year and next, experts forecast By Parker Leipzig of Homes.com
But three markets will continue to experience above-average increases, they tell Fannie Mae.
While home prices have not budged much, remaining on the high end in much of the U.S., housing experts say prospective homebuyers may see some relief in the final months of this year and next.
More than 100 panelists who responded to Fannie Mae's 2025 Q2 Home Price Expectations Survey, produced with Pulsenomics LLC, forecast home price growth to average around 2.95% by the end of this year and 2.78% in 2026.
This is lower than estimates from the first quarter. Experts had forecasted home price growth at an average of 3.4% this year and 3.3% for 2026.
In the second-quarter survey, experts were asked how the top 20 metropolitan area markets will fare in terms of home price growth compared to the national average for the remainder of the year and in 2026.
Respondents said the Boston, New York and Philadelphia markets will have larger home price growth rates than the national average, while Austin, Tampa and Dallas are expected to underperform.
While the market is still in flux, expert predictions of easing home price growth, along with an increase in the number of listings, are good signs for those who have been holding off on buying a home.
