15% of Americans Plan to Buy a Home in 2025: Is Your Home Ready for Them?
Thinking about selling your home? This year may be the right time to make your move. A recent NerdWallet survey shows that 15% of Americans plan to buy a home in 2025—a record high for the survey.
Why does that matter? For years, buyer intent hovered between 9–11%. Now, with more people actively planning to purchase, demand is clearly picking up again.
As Kim Morgan Storey, the Top 1 Real Estate Agent serving Tacoma, Puyallup, Auburn, Sumner, SeaTac, Des Moines, Burien, Normandy Park, Lake Tapps, and Bonney Lake, I want to make sure you are positioned to capture this new wave of demand.

Demand Is Waking Up
This doesn’t mean we’ll see the same buying frenzy we experienced during the pandemic, but it does suggest more energy in the market compared to last year.
Many buyers who pressed pause are ready to step back in—whether they’ve built enough savings, gained confidence in their job stability, or simply decided they can’t wait any longer.
Curious how this demand affects home values in your neighborhood? Call Kim for a market analysis. I can show you the real-time data for cities like Auburn, Sumner, and Puyallup.
Buyers Are Already Taking Action
Another important sign: over half of these buyers have already started searching for homes online. That’s a clear indicator they’ll be active during peak buying season this spring.
In places like Tacoma, SeaTac, Des Moines, and Bonney Lake, this means sellers have a real opportunity to connect with motivated buyers sooner rather than later.
Don't wait until the competition gets tough. Call Kim at 206-225-8325. Let's get your strategy in place now so you are ready when the buyers are.
How Sellers Can Prepare
To take advantage of this renewed demand, it’s essential to have the right plan in place:
-
Prep your home with repairs and updates so it shows well.
-
Price it strategically based on local market data, not just past assumptions.
-
Market effectively so your listing stands out among the increased inventory.
When your home is positioned correctly, you’ll be ready to capture the attention of buyers who are re-entering the market.
