  1. Why the Housing Market Isn't Crashing in 2025

  2. Mortgage Rates: Elevated but Stable The average 30-year mortgage rate sits at approximately 6.9% in mid-2025, remaining stubbornly above 6% and continuing to limit affordability for many potential homebuyers. Despite some economic easing, the Bank of England's cautious approach means rate cuts are unlikely to push mortgage rates below 6% in the near term. Current rates reflect a complex interplay of factors including persistent inflation concerns, moderate economic growth, and significant government debt levels.

  3. Housing Inventory: Slowly Improving 73% 20.8% 5-6 Current inventory Year-over-year increase Balanced market threshold 4.4 months supply vs 6 months balanced market (NAR data, April 2025) Significant growth in available properties compared to 2024 Months of supply needed for equal buyer/seller leverage This gradual inventory recovery is helping to ease price pressures without triggering a market collapse, creating a more sustainable path toward market equilibrium.

  4. Home Prices: Softening but Not Crashing Key Price Indicators • National home prices up just 0.55% year-over-year (June 2025) • 11 regions with prices at or below 2024 levels • Price reductions at 15-year high with approximately 40% of homes being discounted • Stabilisation driven by increased supply and tempered demand

  5. Economic & Political Factors Supporting Stability Economic Growth Continued moderate economic expansion sustains underlying housing demand despite affordability challenges Government Policies Current administration's housing initiatives boost builder confidence through targeted incentives and programmes Regulatory Balance While tariffs increase certain building costs, regulatory relief is creating more efficient development processes Monetary Policy Bank of England remains cautious on rate cuts, maintaining mortgage rate stability and preventing market volatility

  6. Buyer Behaviour & Market Demand Rate Lock-in Sales Volume Many homeowners reluctant to sell due to favourable existing mortgage rates below current market levels Home sales near 30-year lows but showing signs of stabilisation in Q2 2025 Buyer Priorities Pent-up Demand Buyers focusing on finding the right property rather than timing market fluctuations Significant latent demand exists but remains constrained by affordability challenges

  7. Conclusion: No Crash, Just a Challenging Market Key Stabilising Factors • Elevated mortgage rates and limited supply constrain market volatility • Home prices stabilising rather than collapsing across most regions • Gradual inventory growth and new construction supporting market balance • Overall conditions favour stability over crash through 2025
