Homebuyers have seen nationwide median sale prices between $370,000 and $395,000 for 22 straight months, with values typically reaching the higher end of that range during May-August and the lower end during December-March.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe subdued nationwide price appreciation rate, combined with higher incomes and lower mortgage interest rates, made homeownership more affordable during 2025\u2014the first year-over-year improvement in affordability since 2020. In December 2024 buyers of a median-priced home could have expected to spend 2.0 weeks of earnings each month to pay for principal and interest (P&amp;I) on their mortgage, based on mortgage interest rates averaging 6.85% and weekly earnings averaging $1,220.<\/p>\n<p>\nBy the end of 2025, however, with average weekly earnings 3.75% higher ($1,266) and mortgage interest rates lower (6.15%), the average buyer of a median-priced home would have needed just 1.8 weeks of earnings to make the P&amp;I payment.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHomebuyers are seeing an improvement in affordability at just the time when the inventory of homes available for purchase has been growing,\u201d said Brad Case, Chief Residential Economist for Homes.com. \u201cThe number of homes available for purchase grew 17% during 2025, but the earnings needed to buy the median home declined by more than 9% over the same period, partly because mortgage rates went down but mostly because incomes grew. Both buyers and sellers are likely to benefit from the direction the market is taking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nCities in the Midwest region continued to experience the country\u2019s highest home price appreciation, while Sun Belt cities saw prices languish or decline. Of the country\u2019s 40 largest markets, the Midwest took five of the top eight places, with Saint Louis leading at 7.7% appreciation from December 2024 ($259,900) to December 2025 ($280,000). Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Chicago also saw year-over-year appreciation topping 4.5%. Across the nearly 1,000 markets tracked by Homes.com, more than 70% showed year-over-year price growth in December. In contrast, a number of markets in Texas saw home prices decline, led by Dallas-Fort Worth at -4.9% and Austin at -3.8%.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe data shared in this report could change slightly as additional home sales are recorded. Brad Case, Chief Residential Economist, is available for interviews to provide insights on the data and the residential real estate market.
