The number of single-family homes started has followed a similar trend, and it is expected to increase in the next couple of years.

D.R. Horton was the homebuilding company with the largest share of single-family home closings in the United States in 2023. The two largest U.S. homebuilders, D.R.

Already today, Japan has several million unoccupied homes. The demographic change is likely to impact the supply side as well, as fewer young people will enter the construction industry, thus increasing the already apparent shortage of workers.
