As 2024 draws to a close, both buyers and agents are quickly turning their attention to the housing market in 2025.
2025 Market Predictions
According to the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Housing Market Outlook by Bright MLS, home prices are expected to rise by 7% in Washington, D.C., with the median sales price increasing from the estimated 607,400 in 2024 to 638,310 in 2025. With prices rising, and affordability being a major constraint for buyers going into 2025, real estate agents will need to reassess their selling strategies and explore new ways to attract potential buyers.
How Home Staging Can Help
Home staging—the art of transforming a space to increase perception value—is one of the most effective tools agents can incorporate into their strategy for the year ahead. Home staging and design experts bring invaluable experience, creative direction, and a keen eye for highlighting a property’s best features—ultimately helping to justify higher price points for buyers.
