2025 Housing Market Predictions You Can’t Ignore

The Higher Standard

Buckle up, folks—it's a wild week for the economy, and The Higher Standard crew is here to navigate the chaos so you don’t have to. Chris and Saied tackle the avalanche of data from the ISM, JOLTS, and the much - anticipated Jobs Report. (Haroon is still out on paternity leave.) Will these numbers flex harder than a bodybuilder at the beach, or are cracks starting to show? And don’t worry, Fed Chair Powell made sure to sprinkle some cryptic wisdom into the mix, like a monetary-policy Gandalf reminding us that "You shall not politicize!"

➡️ Meanwhile, the housing market predictions for 2025 are wilder than a Florida hurricane forecast. With Sun Belt cities building apartments like they're going out of style, rents are dropping faster than your self-esteem at an open mic night. And the predictions? They range from Apollo's optimistic “We’re all gonna be rich!” +10.8% to Moody’s pessimistic “Yeah, no” at -0.4%. Which regions will boom, and where will your real estate dreams get a reality check? Tune in to get the laughs, the insights, and maybe a crystal ball for 2025!
