U.S. home prices kept rising in 2025, with the national median at about $447,000 in June—a 1.13% increase over the previous year, Redfin noted. Their data also highlighted a major imbalance between buyers and sellers: there were 36% more homes for sale than buyers, amounting to a gap of 508,715 properties. Redfin considers a market balanced when the difference between buyers and sellers stays within 10%.
