California Housing Market 2025: Growth Amidst Challenges

cathy9813

In 2025, California's real estate market is expected to experience growth in both home sales and prices. The California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) forecasts a 10.5% increase in existing single-family home sales, reaching approximately 304,400 units, up from the projected 275,400 in 2024. The median home price is also anticipated to rise by 4.6%, reaching $909,400 in 2025, following a 6.8% increase to $869,500 in 2024. This growth is attributed to anticipated lower interest rates and an improved housing supply, encouraging more buyers and sellers to participate.

Despite these positive trends, affordability remains a significant concern. C.A.R. projects that housing affordability will stabilize at 16% in 2024 and 2025, indicating that only a tiny fraction of California households can afford a median-priced home. This ongoing challenge underscores the importance of addressing the state's housing shortage, exacerbated by recent natural disasters like the Palisades fire. The disaster has intensified the housing crisis, leading to skyrocketing rental costs and increased displacement, particularly among lower-income families.
