Why New-Home Prices Are Falling in Summer 2025 – and Where Buyers Can Find Deals Now
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – High mortgage rates and rising prices limit traditional buyers as investors purchase 27% of U.S. homes in early 2025, tightening markets and raising affordability concerns.
- The U.S. housing market in mid-2025 shows cooling with rising inventory and significant price declines in many popular metro areas.
- This shift results from over-inflated home prices during the pandemic, high mortgage rates near 6%, and falling buyer demand pushing supply upward.
- Markets like Denver, Austin, Cape Coral, and San Francisco have seen sharp price drops, with Denver inventory up 88% and San Francisco prices 18.2% below their peak.
- More than 20% of U.S. home listings had price cuts in June 2025—the highest June level since 2016—as builders adjust prices to attract hesitant buyers.
- These trends suggest growing affordability and buyer leverage, creating opportunities in new-home markets, especially compared to resale properties, though lower prices may not last.
