High mortgage rates, low inventory and unaffordable prices have left a lot of prospective home-buyers on the sidelines again this year. In the first installment of our special series, “Buying a Home in 2025: Navigating the Crunch,” host Ariana Aspuru explores the challenges of today’s real estate market. She’s joined by Wall Street Journal reporter Veronica Dagher and Zillow’s senior economist Orphe Divounguy, who will provide insights on what buyers can expect in 2025 like the rising cost of home insurance, stubborn inflation, and if mortgage rates will fall. Plus, we break down how the National Association of Realtors settlement has changed the homebuying process. Additional episodes of the series drop on Sundays in April.
