Paused Your Moving Plans? Here’s Why Spring 2025 Is Your Time to Shine.
If you paused your home search last year, you’re not alone. High prices, limited inventory, and unpredictable mortgage rates made it tough to find a home you loved and could afford. But in 2025, the tides are turning—rising inventory and stable rates are giving buyers like you unprecedented leverage. Let’s dive into why this spring could be your golden window.
More Inventory = More Options (and Less Stress)
According to Realtor.com’s March 2025 report, housing inventory has surged by 27.5% nationally compared to last year—the highest level in five years. While we’re still below pre-pandemic norms, this growth means:
- More homes to tour in neighborhoods like Summerlin (expanding family-friendly communities) and Henderson (booming with new tech jobs).
- Less pressure to settle for a “good enough” house.
- Better odds of finding a home that fits your needs and budget.
Las Vegas Insight: With new developments like the Brightline rail expansion (connecting Vegas to Southern California by 2025) and companies like Sony setting up shop, our city’s inventory is diversifying—think suburban single-family homes, downtown condos, and modern townhomes.
Homes Are Staying on the Market Longer (Breathe Easy!)
Remember the frenzy of homes selling overnight? Those days are cooling. Nationally, homes are staying on the market 8.2% longer than last year (66 days vs. 61 days). For buyers, this means:
- More time to decide without fear of losing out.
- Room to negotiate on price, repairs, or closing terms.
- Less competition from cash buyers or bidding wars.
As Hannah Jones, Senior Economic Analyst at Realtor.com, explains: “With more homes for sale, buyers have more breathing room to make thoughtful decisions—even during the busy spring season.”
Prices Are Stabilizing—But Don’t Wait Too Long
While prices are still rising, the pace has slowed to a 3.8% annual increase (vs. 2022’s 18% peak). Experts project prices will rise 5% by late 2025 as inventory growth slows. Acting now locks in today’s rates before summer demand spikes.
Value opportunities: Realtor.com’s March 2025 report notes increased inventory in suburban areas like Summerlin South, where prices are rising at a slower pace (2.9% year-over-year).
The Clock Is Ticking—Here’s Your Game Plan
With more homes, less rush, and steady prices, the market is finally tilting toward buyers. If you paused your search last year, now’s the time to revisit your goals.
