2025 Real Estate: 11 States That Will Have the Top 25 Markets

Recently, Realtor.com compiled a housing forecast for America in 2025. The site projected that mortgage rates would continue apace, even with the growth of home prices. That said, there may yet be changes ahead for the American housing market, especially with Donald Trump returning to the White House in January. 

As Realtor.com notes, when Trump was previously in office, the American housing market was driven by business-positive policy, tax cuts and a great deal of deregulation — it may be reasonable to assume the same is coming in 2025.

However, with progressively lessening mortgage rates and home construction increasing, the housing deficit is closing. With that information in hand, Realtor.com has predicted the top 100 real estate markets in America in 2025.

For easy consumption, GOBankingRates has gathered the top forecasted real estate markets in 2025 and the 11 states that will house them.
