Worried About a Housing Market Crash? Here’s What’s Really Happening in 2025

If you’ve been watching the headlines lately, you’ve likely seen stories questioning the future of the housing market. Some are even asking, “Is the housing market about to crash?” With so much chatter, it’s completely understandable if you’re feeling hesitant about making a move.

A recent survey from Clever Real Estate found that 70% of Americans are worried about a potential housing crash in 2025.

But here’s the truth: the market isn’t crashing. It’s shifting—and for homeowners, especially those with second homes in areas like Breckenridge, that shift can actually work in your favor.

Why Low Inventory Is Keeping the Market Strong

The biggest reason we’re not headed for a crash? There simply aren’t enough homes for sale.

As Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, explains:

“There’s just generally not enough supply. There are more people than housing inventory.”

In basic economic terms, when something is scarce, its value goes up. That’s exactly what we’ve been seeing with homes across the country. Even though more listings are appearing, the number of available homes is still well below normal levels, according to data from Realtor.com.

As Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors, puts it:

“… if there’s a shortage, prices simply cannot crash.”

 

Price Growth Is Slowing – and That’s a Good Thing

More homes on the market mean the intense pressure pushing prices higher is starting to ease. We’re not seeing a drop in prices—instead, we’re seeing moderation.

According to Freddie Mac:

“In 2025, we expect the pace of house price appreciation to moderate from the levels seen in 2024, while still maintaining a positive trajectory.”

What does that mean for you? Prices will likely continue to rise, just not as dramatically as they have in recent years. This is welcome news for both buyers and sellers, creating a healthier and more stable housing market.
