<h2>It’s worse than 2008. Builders in panic mode.</h2> Home builder inventory has skyrocketed to the highest level since the 2008 downturn, especially in markets like Florida, where builder supply is at record levels. This is good news for homebuyers and real estate investors in 2025, as the excess builder supply is pushing down prices and resulting in better deals.

Big home builders like DR Horton, Lennar, and Toll Brothers have all issued warnings about the U.S. Housing Market over the last year, particularly in the South. In the South, home builder inventory is at the highest level ever according to the U.S. Census Bureau, even bigger than what occurred prior to the 2008 downturn. This massive glut of homes for sale is resulting in falling prices in markets like Florida, Texas, and Georgia, where builders have been most active. Zillow estimates are falling in many of these markets and sellers are now sometimes selling at a loss. Reventure thinks these trends will continue for the rest of the 2025 due to the excess inventory on the market. Of course – there’s huge variation in where prices could head depending on what neighborhood you’re in. Homebuyers and investors need to consider the local number of homes for sale, price cuts, and days on market, in informing them if prices are more likely to go up or down in the next year. Reventure App accumulates data from sources like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin to help homebuyers access this data and make more informed decisions on the market. — Credit to : Reventure Consulting
