Housing market set for the ‘worst year in decades,’ says Meredith Whitney
- Worst Year in Decades: Analyst Meredith Whitney expects 2025 to be the housing market’s most challenging year in decades, with existing home sales projected around 4 million—or possibly fewer.
- Federal Reserve Policy: Despite economic concerns and pressure from President Trump, the Fed is pausing interest rate cuts, which Whitney believes won’t help the housing sector.
- Generational Divide: Roughly 60% of existing homes are owned by those over 60, while younger potential buyers struggle with high rent, student debt, and rising property taxes and insurance.
- Mortgage Rates Still High: NAR economist Lawrence Yun attributes sluggish sales to elevated mortgage rates, saying lower rates could reignite housing activity and benefit workforce mobility.
