National Association of Realtors (NAR) chief economist Lawrence Yun this past weekend predicted a 9 percent increase in home sales for 2025 and a 13 percent hike for 2026.

Yun issued his forecast on Nov. 8 at NAR’s Residential Economic and Trends Forum in Boston. He noted that both 2023 and this year have been challenging for existing sales.
