U.S. Housing Market Shows Signs of Cooling Amid Rising Inventory

Since June 2019, list prices are up 37.6% and price per square foot is up nearly 52.3%, but there are signs the housing market is slowing—at least in some areas.

In July 2025, the number of homes for sale grew 24.8% year-over-year, according to Realtor.com, and they remained on the market a week longer than the previous year. Price cuts were reported on more than 20% of active listings. Overall, prices rose just 0.5% since last year but fell in 33 of the nation’s 50 largest metros. Of these 50 metros, 13 exceeded their pre-pandemic housing supplies by 25% or more, including Denver, Austin, and San Antonio, while 17 metros remain 25% or more below their pre-pandemic inventories, including Hartford, Chicago, and Providence.

Mortgage interest rates more than doubled during the pandemic to above 7%, but they’ve been drifting downward. The combination of greater selection and lower mortgage rates could reignite the housing market again.

Be prepared with pre-approval from several lenders so you can act quickly when the right home appears.

Search homes for sale, new construction homes, apartments, and houses for rent. See property values. Shop mortgages.
