An outlier in the industry, Matt Slowik is a refreshingly different kind of realtor. Yes, he’s detail oriented, data driven, and exceedingly knowledgeable, but he also possesses a natural equanimity not commonly seen in the real estate game. It’s this laidback, levelheaded composure that makes him a breeze to work with.
In 2025, U.S. real estate markets had much of the wind taken out of their sails by the political/economic volatility and uncertainty that soared in early spring. However, by mid-late summer, stock markets had rebounded to hit new highs, and interest rates began a sustained decline, initiating a shift in the psychology of buyers and sellers that is beginning to show up in market statistics. Generally speaking, more expensive markets in 2025, powered by affluent buyers seeing substantial gains in household wealth from soaring stock markets, performed better than more affordable markets.

After four years of pandemic-driven extremes the U.S. housing market enters a new era. In this next phase, home sales are positioned to meaningfully grow again and affordability starts to improve as home prices level out and mortgage rates come down. Many of the unusual dynamics of the early 2020s are beginning to fade: mobility is slowly picking up, inventory is normalizing in many regions, and buyers and sellers are resetting their expectations after years of dramatic changes.
