If you find yourself coming into 2025 deeply worried about the high mortgage rates and low housing availability (as well as low home production) that has defined the American housing market of the last few years, you may be in luck.

The website predicted that 2025 mortgage rates will drop and housing availability will increase (as will home production), with a high concentration of upward development in the South and West along the Sun Belt — in fact, the top 10 housing markets are all projected to be in the South and West.
That said, if you live in the Midwest or dream of moving to (or retiring to) the Midwest, there are still a great many cities in that region that are expected to be among the top housing markets in 2025.
