Warwick, R.I., January 22, 2025 – Rhode Island’s housing shortage showed little improvement from December 2024 to December 2025, contributing to sustained price increases. Though the month closed out with a 13.7% increase in the number of single-family homes listed on the market since December of last year, pent-up demand continued to deplete available inventory, causing the state’s housing supply to remain relatively flat from a year ago. As a result of the persistent low inventory, at $496,950, the monthly median price of December’s single-family home sales represented a 5.7 percent year-over-year increase.
