A new report from Realtor.com reveals a modest uptick in international interest in U.S. real estate, with 1.9% of the platform's traffic in the first quarter of 2025 coming from global home shoppers -- up slightly from the same period in 2024.
Now that the 2025 hurricane season has officially begun, according to NOAA, a new and growing concern is emerging for homeowners along the U.S. coast -- especially in an already tight housing market with historically low inventory.
According to new data released by the National Association of Realtors, existing-home sales dipped again in April 2025, reflecting ongoing challenges in the U.S. housing market despite growing inventory and continued buyer interest.
Sales of existing U.S. homes dropped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.2 million in April 2025, hitting their lowest level since October 2024, according to new data released by Redfin. The figure marks a 0.2% decline from March 2025, and a 1.1% drop year-over-year--breaking a seven-month streak of annual gains.
