Out of 100+ expert forecasters, here’s the real story on where they say home prices are headed.

The average projection is about 3.3% price growth per year, through 2029.

Optimists say closer to 5.0% per year. Pessimists expect around 1.3% per year.

So, do they all agree exactly? No. But here’s the clear consensus: nobody’s projecting a crash.

Steady, healthy growth is the story. Yes, there will be regional and local variations with slight ups and downs in some areas, but not wild spikes or major national declines.

Every market will be a little bit different, so if you want to know how your neighborhood fits into this equation, DM me and we’ll have a conversation about what I’m seeing in our local numbers.
