For the past few years, the real estate market has felt like a rollercoaster: soaring home prices, rising interest rates, and low inventory made it hard to know when or how to jump in.
But in 2025, things are shifting. If you’ve been on the sidelines, this could be your moment.
Let’s explore what’s happening, why it matters, and how you can take advantage of it through tokenized real estate investing.
Home Prices Have Pulled Back in Key Markets
As of February 2025, 21 out of the 33 largest housing markets in the U.S. have seen a drop in home values from their 2022 peaks (source: Wolf Street).
This isn’t a crash. It’s a healthy correction in previously overheated markets, and that’s good news for long-term investors.
Lower prices = more upside potential.
Interest Rates Are Easing, Slowly but Surely
Mortgage rates peaked in 2023 and 2024, but by April 2025, they dropped to 6.64% for a 30-year fixed loan (source: MySanAntonio.com).
This marks the first signs of cooling, and more rate cuts may follow as the Fed looks to stimulate the economy.
Lower rates:
- Improve affordability
- Increase cash-on-cash returns
- Benefit fractional investors who rely on tokenized income streams
Inventory Is Up. Competition Is Down.
For the first time in years, buyers have more options.
According to ResiClub Analytics, housing inventory rose 27.6% from Feb 2024 to Feb 2025, giving investors more negotiating power and better access to cash-flowing properties.
More inventory + motivated sellers = better deals.
