The 2025 housing market is showing signs of renewed energy—and savvy homebuyers are seizing the moment.
According to recent MBA lender surveys, purchase mortgage demand has outpaced last year’s numbers for over two months, signaling a notable shift in buyer confidence. What’s driving the resurgence? A welcome combination of stable mortgage rates and increased housing inventory, giving buyers more room to shop, compare, and make confident decisions.
🐷 RSL Piggy Points
Mortgage rates are well below the January 2025 highs, making financing more affordable for many buyers.
Inventory is rising, offering more selection and helping to ease bidding wars in many markets.
Demand is stronger than last year, with applications for purchase loans consistently trending upward.
Why Now Is a Window of Opportunity
In January 2025, mortgage rates flirted with uncomfortable highs, keeping many buyers sidelined. Fast forward to spring, and a calmer rate environment has brought clarity and momentum. When rates are steady, buyers are more likely to lock in decisions and move forward confidently. Combine that with rising inventory—and the power is gradually shifting back toward the buyer.
This momentum is not just statistical—it’s emotional. Buyers feel more empowered, and agents are seeing quicker turnarounds from pre-approval to closing.
