  • The 2024 housing market was the slowest in decades. Next year's might not be much better. It may come down to how many new homes can be built.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 11, 2024, discusses the current state and future predictions for the U.S. housing market as it heads into 2025. It highlights a cooling trend in the market following a period of intense activity, with home prices stabilizing after significant increases.

The article also notes regional variations, with some markets experiencing price drops while others continue to see growth.
