Zooming out
The report states that, with an unemployment rate of 4.2% and inflation slowing to 2.5%, the current economic conditions and moderating interest rates will "provide a good foundation for new home sales (in the U.S.) to improve throughout 2025."
"We expect single-family home sales to outpace 2024 levels, particularly during the spring 2025 selling season," the report states.
