US home price insights — August 2025
The turbulent forecast of the housing market is poised to undergo transition, according to this month’s insights from Cotality. While effects on housing prices vary from region to region, some major metropolitan areas are finding greater affordability with rising housing supply contributing to housing price reductions. Nevertheless, other areas are still seeing the continued trend of increasing prices paired with high insurance and mortgage rates, casting a cloud of complexity over the changing market that otherwise would favor buyers.
Cotality Chief Economist Dr. Selma Hepp notes “Markets demonstrating strong fundamentals — such as those in West Virginia — where affordability remains attractive and domestic in-migration continues, are likely to see continued home price growth.”
