The housing market has been a rollercoaster over the past few years, and many buyers and sellers are wondering where things are headed as we move through the rest of 2025. Inventory levels, home prices, and mortgage rates are all key factors shaping the market’s outlook — and ReadySetLoan™️ is here to break it down.
Inventory: Tight, But Slowly Shifting
After years of extremely limited listings, signs point to gradual improvement in housing inventory. More homes are hitting the market compared to the lows of the pandemic era, giving buyers slightly more options. However, supply remains below historical norms, keeping competition high in many Connecticut neighborhoods.
Neil Caron, Area Sales Manager at CMG Mortgage, noted:
“We’re seeing incremental progress with more listings coming online, but we’re still a long way from what most would consider a balanced market. For buyers, that means acting quickly is key. For sellers, it’s still a favorable environment, especially in desirable communities across Connecticut.”
Home Prices: Cooling, But Holding Strong
Price growth has slowed compared to the explosive pace of 2021 and 2022. That said, home values remain elevated. Many economists expect prices to hold steady through the end of the year, with some regional variations depending on local supply and demand.
Neil added:
“In Connecticut, we’re seeing stabilization. Sellers aren’t getting the double-digit year-over-year appreciation anymore, but they’re also not losing value. This is a healthier environment for both sides of the transaction.”
Mortgage Rates: A Game-Changer
Mortgage rates dipping closer to the mid-6% range have breathed new life into the market. Buyers who were priced out earlier in the year are reconsidering their options, while some homeowners are exploring refinancing opportunities.
ReadySetLoan™️ emphasizes that even a small rate movement can translate into significant monthly savings, giving families more flexibility.

Inventory is improving slightly, but supply is still below normal levels.
Home prices have cooled from pandemic peaks but remain steady in most CT markets.
Lower mortgage rates are creating fresh opportunities for buyers and refinancers.
Neil’s Take 🎤
“The rest of 2025 will be defined by balance. Buyers are gaining a little more leverage, while sellers can still secure strong values. The key is preparation — knowing your numbers and acting when the right opportunity comes along.” – Neil Caron, Area Sales Manager, CMG Mortgage
