C.A.R. Releases its 2025
California Housing Market Forecast
A more favorable interest rate environment that will loosen up the “lock-in” effect and improve housing inventory will encourage buyers and sellers to return to the market to boost both home sales and prices next year, according to a housing and economic forecast released last week by C.A.R. during its annual REimagine! Conference & Expo in Long Beach.
The baseline scenario of C.A.R.’s “2025 California Housing Market Forecast” sees an increase in existing single-family home sales of 10.5 percent next year to reach 304,400 units, up from the projected 2024 sales figure of 275,400. The projected 2024 figure is 6.8 percent higher compared with the pace of 257,900 homes sold in 2023.
The California median home price is forecast to rise 4.6 percent to $909,400 in 2025, following a projected 6.8 percent increase to $869,500 in 2024 from $814,000 in 2023. A persistent housing shortage and a competitive housing market will continue to put upward pressure on home prices next year.
