Home Prices Are ‘Not on the Verge of a Nuclear Crash’: Economist Projects Modest Price Gains of 3% in 2025

National Association of Realtors® Chief Economist Lawrence Yun has said that he believes home sales will pick up in the second half of the year and that national median home prices will grow 3% in 2025.

Speaking at the Realtors Legislative Meetings in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, Yun argued that overall home prices will continue to grow modestly, despite weak sales in the first half of the year and an uptick in seller price reductions.

“Home prices are not on the verge of a nuclear crash,” said Yun, pointing to low levels of serious mortgage delinquencies as a sign that few homeowners will be forced into distressed sales.

Despite weak sales activity in the early part of the year, Yun forecasts existing-home sales will rebound and rise 6% this year compared with 2024, while new-home sales will rise 10%.

His forecast hinges on mortgage rates easing to 6.4% by the end of the year, alongside continued labor market growth with 1.6 million jobs added to the economy across 2025.

    The inflation rate is currently at 2.1% and the the Atlanta FED predicts GDP growth of 4.6% in the 2nd quarter of 2025 so sales and price will probably be meaty. Corps are investing tons and trillions have been pledged so it appears there’s no slowdown on the horizon.

    Elon Musk calls for every Republican who support Trump’s budget bill to be voted out of office.
    In a series of posts on X on Tuesday, Musk said that the “outrageous, pork-filled” spending bill will “massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt”.

    We have thousands of employees doing data annotation and review for AI model training use cases, QC/QA on AI decisions, and manual exception review of scenarios AI was not able to handle.

    OpenAI has tens of thousands of people doing RLHF.

    It’s easy to spin the humans involved in model training and tuning as some kind of fraudulent scenario. Not saying builder was or wasn’t, but behind lots of AI models are huge numbers of humans needed to curate, generate, tune, feedback, qc.

  10. RentL0rd says:

    Totally agree. This Musk-Trump divorce is for the peasants. Musk got what he wanted and moving on. It’s like a bad cop who gets terminated to avoid lawsuits.

    Musks tweets may have an element of frustration but his chainsaw damage has been done. Trump will continue his bulldozer work.

  11. Very Stable Genius says:

    Under Trump our annual US budget deficit is going to be over $2 trillion per year going forward.

    We pay over $100 billion per month in interest on the national debt. $1.2 trillion per year. That is about 25% of all government revenue going to pay interest on the debt.

    Senate must oppose Trumps budget, too much Republican pork in it.

    Chad,

    Usually those types of collectibles/investments only return a greater profit when held for a very long time and passed to your heirs. Otherwise, it’s a piece to treasure and enjoy with a low mintage of 15K.

  15. Libturd says:

    What did Musk get from Trump? The way I see it, you are seeing a pissed off Elon who expected Trump to carve out Tesla from the other EV makers with some type of incentive, but when it didn’t happen (Trump screws another partner, so what’s new?), Elon turned redcoat.

  16. Chad Powers says:

    Fast Eddie,
    I agree. I have three of the 1 DM coins in gold minted in 2001. Original price was 250DM each from the central bank. Today one goes for around 1,500€.

  17. Libturd says:

    The Trump budget is much like the Biden budget. The deficit increases while the rich get richer. Only Biden enriched his political backers through government contracts for infrastructure. Trump is enriching all of rich through tax cuts while fucking the lower classes. At the end of the day, it’s still you and me paying for it. Though, at least with Biden, we get nicer roads, airports, etc. With Trump, you get a lot of lip service.

  18. Libturd says:

    You guys all realize gold is going bonkers because China is buying it all to break the dollar from being the reserve currency.

    Builder AI was doing vibe accounting too…round trip billing between them and another company they controlled to inflate sale.

    BTW the nickname AI = Anonymous Indians is attributed to them, just a group of Indian developers pretending to write code as AI.

  21. Chad Powers says:

    Lib,
    I‘ve been buying gold coins for years. Yes, China is buying lots of gold to reduce their reliance on the US dollar and treasuries. I‘m just a small time coin collector. I figure my two daughters will have these later and could prove useful in hard times.

  22. Juice Box says:

    That Warren report is pure garbage.

    “NASA chose SpaceX to provide launch services for a space telescope, a contract worth $100 million”

    Space X is responsible for nearly 90% of launches worldwide, there is no other competition even close to their success rate and lowest launch costs.

    BTW – China just copied Space X. Check out their rocket company Sepoch.

    I wonder if that is where they got the idea from.

  29. Juice Box says:

    Lib – China cannot buy it all, China may be buying some gold but they aren’t the only ones.

    Gold prices are rising because of the deficit spending. They need to raise the debt ceiling another 5 trillion again. This has basically been rinse and repeat sine the recession of 2000 and 9/11, nothing but non-stop deficit spending. That is when I bought my gold in at $270 an ounce. I am up bigly but it’s just a hedge for what is coming. I will have to move it to something real like farmland before the government wants to take it. History does rhyme…

  34. Juice Box says:

    3B – “ We don’t have nice roads”

    Yes but we do have nice new government buildings, most funded by long term borrowing. Road paving only comes out of the small annual expense budget, it isn’t considered critical infrastructure like now empty but air conditioned government buildings.

  35. 3b says:

    Juice: Yes, we do have our priorities.

  36. Libturd says:

    I don’t know. I picked up my wife at JFK last week. Since family wanted L&B in the fridge, I went the dreaded Staten Island Route. Drove across an absolutely beautiful Goethal’s Bridge. Then the Staten Island Expressway, a former pothole laden, constantly under construction road was smooth as a baby’s bottom and they added a HOV lane to boot, which was nice, to escape all of the ghetto trash who thought they were at Indy. Even the Verrazano looked freshly painted and was in excellent condition. Finally, the Belt Parkway. Definitely better than it used to be, especially the segment from Coney out to the Van Wyck which used to have potholes that rivaled the BQE. Finally, I arrived at JFK. Everything is under construction there. I mean everything. What a hellhole it is right now, but you can see that the expansion is massive. Now I don’t know how much of this was Biden’s doing, but as I passed the beautiful Portal Bridge by Secaucus Junction on the way back home, I knew that was done mostly with Federal dollars.

    So what is Trump doing for us? Enriching Crypto investors while doing nothing for our 401Ks. Huge tax breaks for the rich. Gutting emergency departments like NOAA and FEMA. Heck, I just heard the FEMA director didn’t know there was a hurricane season is a huge Jesus freak and only professional skills are in artillery. But I digress. As far as I know, he hadn’t appeared on TV, so I wonder how Trump even heard of him. It’s been beautiful under Trump no? How are the wars in Gaza and Ukraine going. How’s the peace deal with Iran? And those tariffs and job losses. My company just announced incentives for early retirement. Way to go Trumpy. Housing turning over, inflation and recession dead ahead. And same deficit increase as everyone before him. I’d take a braindead Biden back in a heartbeat.

    I read this morning. Walmart is cutting jobs in Florida because the immigrants have all gone into hiding and are no longer shopping there for fear of deportation. True story. Not some dreamy platitudes that Gary tends to conjure up. But on the bright side, we still have the Gulf of America to thank the Donald for. Anyone see those manufacturing numbers on Monday? Tariff, baby, tariff.

    For those that might care, Bulgaria will be adopting the Euro next January. They have supposedly met all the criteria to officially adopt thr Euro as their currency. Time will tell.

  38. 3b says:

    Lib: I don’t know how much of Trumps actions are being reflected in layoffs, but certainly to some degree. Other factors are over hiring during COVID, and AI is a big factor, and will continue to be. Disney too is laying off on their corporate side.

    As for Gaza and Ukraine, anyone that believed Trump would end those wars was foolish. As for Iran, well at least he tried, better than the appeasement of Iran by Obama and Biden. At some point the Israelis will may get the green light, and they will take out Iran s nuclear ambitions.

  39. Libturd says:

    3B,

    Israel always does. And secretly, Saudi Arabia cheers.

  40. Chad Powers says:

    3b,
    The key word is „supposedly“ meeting all criteria to adopt the Euro. Bulgaria is probably keeping two sets of books just like Greece did. The EU keeps kicking the can down the road with Greece. Expanding the monetary union to all these poor countries is a very bad idea.

  41. Fast Eddie says:

    So what is Trump doing for us?

    Tossing dirt, one shovel at a time, on the liberal coffin.

  42. Fast Eddie says:

    Enriching Crypto investors while doing nothing for our 401Ks.

    Jobs at a dismal 37K. That means more company profit and an increase in your 401K. Waa Laa!

    On yesterday’s discussion of the cost of cold cuts from HMB:
    Libturd already offered good suggestions yesterday, as usual, Capn Cheapo walks the talk.
    Most things that are convenient and unhealthy are priced way higher than more labor intensive and healthier. Compare the cost of buying a bag of celery or a bag of carrots against the celery sticks and the pre-peeled “baby” carrots. The unpeeled, uncut stuff will be fresher and last longer. Similarly when I check out the pre-prepared food areas of grocery stores, sometimes it seems to me higher priced than even restaurant takeout. Time saved = money spent.
    “Cold cuts” at Costco are cheaper but you probably have to separate and freeze unless you’re feeding an army. And would be better off again buying the component meats and cooking yourself.
    Back when people were really poor but were willing to spend the time, they would make stews and casseroles. Throw some low grade (cheap) meat in a pot, peel some vegetables, throw it in with some salt and pepper, cook. Or roast a chicken that you cut up. Nowadays suggesting this sort of behavior to the poor of America is seen as a hate crime. Like when people tisk tisk photos of 300lb people on rascals buying junk food with food stamps (EBT cards), they are accused of “poor shaming”. Because doing these suggested things requires effort, foresight, self-control, and building a modicum of skill, things that modern leftists don’t think should be expected of anyone.

    Chad: I was thinking the same thing regarding Bulgaria and the Greece situation. And true, the EU can’t afford all of these poor and corrupt countries . And the migrant situation, and the turn in Europe to the right. It’s all being ignored. I see the UK is tightening migrant requirements for admittance. Apparently, the massive influx of migrants, has done nothing for the UK economy. That makes sense, since many of them are receiving government benefits.

    eliminating Women’s rights to control their bodies.

    I was just reading last night the history of Jim Jones, of Jonestown massacre fame. He combined religious fervor with Marxism, and didn’t hide it. Also a big perv. What I hadn’t heard of before was how Harvey Milk was a friend of his and Jones had his cultists help Milk win elections, Milk was a big supporter of Jones and his “people’s temple” and his Jonestown commune, and also wrote to president Carter about how Jim Jones was a man of the highest character, not so long before Jones had a congressman shot and poisoned nearly a thousand of his followers with cyanide Kool Aid as a form of communist revolutionary suicide, after the USSR declined to let them move to Russia.
    I don’t think they put much of this into Sean Penn’s movie about Milk.

    Speaker Mike Johnson, at his weekly news conference at the Capitol, said he had spoken with President Trump about Elon Musk’s continuing attacks on the major domestic policy bill Republicans are trying to pass. “He’s not delighted that Elon did a 180 on that,” Johnson said. He added that he had spoken to Musk on Monday by phone and discussed his concerns with the bill, but said they left the conversation on “a great note” and continued to exchange “happy texts” throughout the day.

    “Then yesterday, 24 hours later, he does a 180 and he comes out and opposed the bill,” Johnson said. “And it surprised me, frankly. We don’t take it personal. Policy differences are not personal.”

  62. Very Stable Genius says:

    “The House-passed version of President Trump’s domestic policy legislation could add roughly $2.4 trillion to the debt over the next 10 years, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday in its first full accounting of the bill’s cost.

    This estimate could inflame concerns among conservatives and investors on Wall Street about the fiscal consequences of the legislation, which includes both broad tax cuts as well as reductions to spending on programs for the poor like Medicaid.“

Rinse and repeat. It’s all a show Gary. Absolutely nothing of any help to me and you is getting done. Doge was mostly illegal, a complete failure, but sure made some great headlines. That is Trump’s specialty. Making headlines. And when all of his empty promises are taken to task, he says he was kidding. This is MAGA. How do you like that budget he is floating. Less people insured, yet huge tax cuts for the wealthy. Debt estimates of 3 to 4 trillion. What’s new pussycat? Truth seems, Musk is the only one who cares.

    Too bad Red Jane Fonda made a movie to scare the country out of nuclear power production expansion. Intermittent solar and wind are nice for show but stink as baseload capacity and have to be backed up by very costly batteries or spare gas turbines that then have to charge a lot when they are needed to compensate for being used intermittently. Policy has been pushing for this garbage energy capacity ever since Obama’s days. Nukes are mostly capital costs than operating costs, last way longer and are more stable than solar/wind but red tape have made them incredibly expensive to build. But the green power found out they could get massive subsidies for Chinese made solar and wind (both from China in subsidizing production costs, and in the US in subsidizing installation and operations). An investigative journalist should look into the Green consultancies, especially Bloomberg New Energy – advocates pretending to be objective analysts. Looking around the world, the more solar/wind in a country’s mix, the more costly energy becomes. But braindead media cannot report this, so they find other things to blame.

    I sadly agree. NJ is a perfect example. Fulop is clearly what the state needs and instead we will elect Pelosi the 2nd. With the non-reported inside training. The huge war chest behind her and absolutely nothing new to offer except more of the same old. There was a great article in the LVRJ today. It’s an interesting take on why the Dems are hopeless and why Trump won. I’ll post it:

    And Trump paved the way for this by removing regulatory barriers and legitimizing crypto.

    Now, even unsuspecting retirees with no understanding of crypto are indirectly supporting Coinbase – and by extension, the entire junk crypto market — giving it an air of legitimacy it doesn’t deserve.

Also, seeing some new construction houses over the last few years that are starting to look shabby, and lawns not mowed either. Hard to tell what’s going on out there. The construction of the apartments has started in Paramus Park , right near the Macys. The thing is massive, 600 new apartments there and another 600 in the Bergen Town Mall. We are a massively overbuilt/ overpriced area, at least central Bergen Co is overbuilt and overpriced. Why anyone would want to buy in Paramus is beyond me.

    Dollar Tree reported results that best analysts expectations. Dollar Trees CEO attributes that to more higher income consumers shopping there. In addition to expanded product offerings.

  94. YO says:

    Dollar Tree is closing around 370 Family Dollar stores and 30 Dollar Tree stores over the next few years as leases expire, according to the The US Sun. This is part of a larger restructuring plan for Dollar Tree, which also includes the sale of the Family Dollar business to two private equity firms in March 2025. The closures are expected to improve profitability and allow Dollar Tree to focus on its core business

    I bought grass fed beef stew meat and a few other ingredients to make my go to beef stew recipe

    https://youtu.be/jWj1dKOVW80

    I also bought 1 pound of turkey cold cuts, half a pound of Swiss cheese and a loaf of bread. Costs were almost identical.

    The beef stew was a lot tastier and probably healthier. Took about 10-15 minutes of prep work to get all the ingredients ready and in the slow cooker.

    It was the first time this year I bought cold cuts at a grocery deli and I was shocked at the comparison.

    I made a green papaya salad and a salmon massaman curry that kicked ass tonight. I love Asian cooking. I find Chinese the hardest compared to Viet, Japanese and Korean. Indian is hit or miss difficulty wise, but rarely healthy.

    As to Jersey politics, I’m pro Fulop all the way. Least establishment Democrat and almost all grass roots working for him. Doing it the old fashioned way and as far as I can tell, relatively uncorrupt.

    Angel got it wrong. First rule in my cookbook is never to boil meat – especially not in water. Yuck!

    And the individual ingredients are not really flavoring each other. Fail!

    This site has a lot of easy to make Indian recipes. I’ve only made the ones you can make in an instant pot.

    https://indiaphile.info/

    Pretty much just lentils or split peas with shallot or onions and spices. Some recipes have spinach or tomatoes. She uses ghee but I substitute avocado oil or do a mix of ghee and avocado oil.

    Angel wongs kitchen on YouTube has a lot of great recipes that are definitely tasty and authentic Taiwanese dishes.

  102. Libturd says:

    I only had Taiwanese once. Believe it or not, in Reno Nevada. I really enjoyed it, though the popcorn chicken dish I had was very dry.

    While the cooks are hard at work, the results from Ronald Reagan that have been stewing for years are finally getting ready:

    Flights at New Jersey’s Newark Airport have been grounded on Wednesday due to staffing issues.

    A ground stop was briefly ordered then a ground delay was put in effect until 10:59 p.m. ET, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

    The FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center said due to staffing problems at the travel hub, a traffic management program has been put in place for arriving flights causing delays by an average of 27 minutes.

    ‘If daily or per-shift staffing levels are low, the FAA ensures safety by implementing traffic management initiatives, such as slowing the flow of aircraft into an airport,’ the FAA saud

    Popcorn chicken is one of taiwans famous dishes. The trick is to make the breading from sweet potato starch. I want to figure out how to make a baked or oven fried version. Trying to cut down on fried food.

    Also for Taiwanese food kimlan brand soy sauce is the way to go.
    For Korean dishes Korean soy sauce makes a difference too. They put sugar or fructose in it to make it a bit sweet.

  105. Hold my beer says:

    The beef noodle soup recipe I linked to earlier is probably taiwans most famous dish.

    That recipe is better than most restaurants in the US version of it.

    Chicken Genocide.

    These Nazi’s have no heart. There is going to be a rally on Sunday at the White Hose to help support the innocent Chickesns that are going through an awful Genocide.

    A killer bird flu outbreak has hit multiple farms in Arizona – and the variant has wiped out millions of birds from one of the United States’s largest egg producers.

    Chickens at Hickman Farms in Buckeye, Arizona began showing symptoms at the end of May.

    The initial loss was estimated at 1.1 million birds, but just two weeks after the flock got sick, 6 million have died. That accounted for about 95 percent of Hickman Farms’ bird population.

    CEO Glenn Hickman held a press conference on May 30 to address the situation. To him, the loss was entirely preventable.

    ‘If our pullets had been vaccinated when we started lobbying the federal government in January, our pullets would have been saved by now,’ he said.

    Hickman and Hickman Family farms have been advocating for access to avian flu vaccines since January. According to the company’s website, which addresses the situation, the U.S. government makes a vaccine, but only uses it as an export.

    ‘European countries have now been vaccinating their flocks for a couple of years and are gaining the upper hand on controlling this disease. That vaccine is actually made here in the U.S., but we export to other countries while our flocks go unprotected.’

    Well that recipe is better than most I’ve tried in the US.

    The logic here.

    Your brother steals a car.

    We arrest and jail your whole family. Yeah, even your kids.
    How f’d up is it to do that anyway.

    You ain’t your family. Plenty hate theirs. But you are stuck with them.

    A Biden-era judge in Colorado has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting the wife and five children of the Boulder fire-bomb suspect.

    Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, allegedly injured 12 people aged between 52 and 88 at a demonstration honoring the October 7 victims who are still being held hostage by Hamas militants in Gaza.

    Once she took his pension, he had nothing to live for. RIP officer:

    Christian Flynn, a full-time Upper Providence Township Police Officer and longtime firefighter with the Limerick Fire Department, and seasonal officer in Sea Isle City in New Jersey, died by suicide outside the municipal campus on Monday evening, June 2, authorities announced.

    “There was no danger to the public at any time,” Upper Providence police wrote in an initial statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the officer and his family… We thank the public for their grace as we navigate this tragedy.”

    The move is the latest in Trump’s efforts to secure America’s borders after a Colorado terror attack in which an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa allegedly set people alight at a pro-Israel demonstration.

    Nationals of Afghanistan, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be barred from entering the United States under the new proclamation.

    Further to that ban, citizens of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela will be partially restricted from traveling.

    ‘We don’t want ’em,’ Trump said in a video released shortly after the ban was announced.

    ‘Very simply, we cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen.’

    Trump cited the recent terror attack in Boulder as an example of why such a ban is a necessary step to keep Americans safe.

  112. 3b says:

    Dark: The guy overstays his visa and then has 5 kids. I think he should not have been working to support his 5 children rather than trying to burn people to death. As for his family being deported I agree. But, his ass should be deported.

    Sure. Do what you want with him. But this whole ‘deport your whole family” shit has to stop.

    It’s un American. Or at least the “America” I used to know.

    The thought process of doing things like that have come from outside forces that have no business changing what has been years of history here.

    You are in a group. One of your friends likes to do drugs. Doesn’t mean they all do. You may like that friend, but disagree with thier drug issue. But because you hang out with them, or related to someone, doesn’t mean you stand for, agree with, or do things that that other individuals do.

    Not all black people like rap. Not all white people can’t jump. Not all Indians own Kwic E Marts.

    Hating/labeling any particular group of people , race, or religion bad is fucced up.
    There is good and evil in all races, all religions, all sexes.

    We are individuals.

    Dear Mr Trump.

    I work with an Iranian doctor.

    He saved a white ass guy that looks like you do, only more handsome, and probably with less hatred in his heart than you have.

    The guy produces. He cares. He has saved many lives in all of the years I worked with him.

    Your blanket hatred for others suck you Fat Orange faced turd.
