For the week ending April 6, 2025, the Housing Market Hotness Index showed no significant change, registering 94.86, virtually the same as the previous week’s 94.89. This lack of movement reflects the continued subdued state of the market, influenced by stagnant mortgage rates, flat home prices, and growing affordability concerns alongside weakening consumer sentiment. Regional performance remained uneven, with pockets of strong growth offsetting flat or declining activity in other areas.
The most active counties were Monroe (NY), Kent (MI), and Snohomish (WA), contrasting with the continued slow pace in Southern and west coast Florida markets.
