WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 2025 — The International Monetary Fund has downgraded the U.S. GDP forecast to 1.8% for 2025, citing protectionist trade policies and fragile consumer confidence.
The real estate industry is bracing for a shift. In overheated markets, price reductions are becoming more common, while distressed property activity — including pre-foreclosure filings — has quietly ticked upward.
“Reduced growth and higher holding costs may trigger increased investor sales and price adjustments,” said analysts at The Foreclosure Focus. “We expect the surplus fund recovery space to expand as foreclosure activity gradually rises.”
