ORTEGA FOREST REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE 2025
2025 kicked off with surprising momentum. After the election-fueled stalemate at the end of 2024, buyers re-entered the market—selectively. Homes that are priced right and in solid condition moved fast, often going under contract within days. But that’s the key: pricing and presentation. Properties that miss the mark continue to sit, as buyers have become increasingly strategic. With the reality setting in that interest rates won’t budge this year—and no change in Fed leadership expected until April 2026—buyers are more cautious about where and how they spend. The rest of the year is expected to bring a steady, deliberate sales pace with no major jumps in home prices.
