- Weak Price Growth: The U.S. national home price index recorded only a 1.4% annual increase in November 2025, unchanged from October, indicating the lowest growth since mid-2023 and suggesting a cooling housing market that may affect buyer confidence.
- Regional Disparities: Chicago led with a 5.7% annual increase, followed by New York at 5.0% and Cleveland at 3.4%, while Tampa saw a 3.9% decline, highlighting significant market performance differences that could prompt investors to reassess regional strategies.
- High Mortgage Rates: Thirty-year mortgage rates hovered in the mid-6% range during November, slightly easing but still pressuring affordability, which caps home price growth and impacts overall market activity.
- Diminished Market Momentum: In November, 15 of the 20 major cities experienced price declines from October, reflecting persistent market softness, although the national index rose 0.4% after seasonal adjustments, indicating weak overall price momentum that may influence future investment decisions.
