📉 The Market Has Shifted: What 490,000 More Sellers Than Buyers Means for Real Estate in 2025
The U.S. housing market is undergoing a major transformation.
According to a new Redfin report shared by ResiClub’s Lance Lambert, there are now nearly 490,000 more home sellers than buyers—the largest gap in over a decade. Just three years ago, in the midst of the pandemic housing boom, the situation was completely reversed: buyers outnumbered sellers by over 430,000.
Fast forward to April 2025, and we’re looking at a market where balance has not just tipped—it’s flipped.
🏠Why the Shift?
A few key factors are driving this dramatic change:
High mortgage rates continue to challenge affordability for many would-be buyers.
Inflated home prices—a hangover from the 2021 surge—are deterring offers, especially when sellers are slow to adjust.
Evolving buyer behavior: Today’s buyers are more cautious, strategic, and patient.
This shift is being felt most in states like Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Colorado, where inventory is rising, but demand isn’t keeping pace. Homes are sitting on the market longer, and price reductions are becoming the norm rather than the exception.
