Home prices have been a major talking point since the pandemic, when they climbed at a record pace<\/a> in response to a frenzy of demand. This increase led to a sharp decline in affordability<\/a> that weighed on buyers and sellers and slowed the housing market to a crawl.<\/p>\n

Now, the housing market is in the early stages<\/a> of a long, gradual reset. Redfin economists predict<\/a> that affordability will slowly improve this year and beyond as price growth cools and wages rise. But with prices rising more quickly<\/a> nationally in April, it’s clear that improvement won’t be linear\u2014and that homebuyers and sellers may continue to deal with a difficult market.<\/p>\n
