The year 2025 is shaping up to be one of the toughest for developers in decades, with a sharp decline in home sales and a continuous drop in prices in most areas. The sector faces an unprecedented inventory of about 83,000 unsold homes, with approximately 15,000 ready for occupancy within six months.
