A Market Finding Its Footing

January brought more of the same market conditions we saw in 2024—mortgage rates hovering near or above 7%, rising inventory, and prices holding steady with modest growth. However, one key difference has emerged: more people seem to have accepted that interest rates aren’t changing significantly anytime soon. This is our market environment, and it’s likely here to stay for the foreseeable future.

“In some ways, that brings stability—decisions become more complex when too many unknowns exist. We expect mortgage rates to remain steady, while price growth has stabilized,” says Amanda Snitker of the DMAR Market Trends Committee. This shift means those waiting for the perfect conditions to buy or sell are stepping back, while those with a strong need or desire to move are taking action. They recognize that holding out won’t change the market—only delay their plans.
