Housing construction in the United States plummeted between 2006 and 2010, followed by a gradual increase until 2021. In early 2022, the number of new building permits and construction starts rose to one of the highest levels since 2006. As the economic environment worsened and construction material prices soared, however, permits issuance and building starts slowed. As of February 2025, the 12-month rolling number of new privately owned housing units completed amounted to 1.59 million, while the number of units started was 1.5 million.

The number of U.S. home sales in the United States declined in 2024, after soaring in 2021. A total of four million transactions of existing homes, including single-family, condo, and co-ops, were completed in 2024, down from 6.12 million in 2021. According to the forecast, the housing market is forecast to head for recovery in 2025, despite transaction volumes expected to remain below the long-term average. Why have home sales declined? The housing boom during the coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated that being a homeowner is still an integral part of the American dream. Nevertheless, sentiment declined in the second half of 2022 and Americans across all generations agreed that the time was not right to buy a home. A combination of factors has led to house prices rocketing and making homeownership unaffordable for the average buyer. A survey among owners and renters found that the high home prices and unfavorable economic conditions were the two main barriers to making a home purchase. People who would like to purchase their own home need to save up a deposit, have a good credit score, and a steady and sufficient income to be approved for a mortgage. In 2022, mortgage rates experienced the most aggressive increase in history, making the total cost of homeownership substantially higher. Are U.S. home prices expected to fall? The median sales price of existing homes stood at 413,000 U.S. dollars in 2024 and was forecast to increase slightly until 2026. The development of the S&P/Case Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index shows that home prices experienced seven consecutive months of decline between June 2022 and January 2023, but this trend reversed in the following months. Despite mild fluctuations throughout the year, home prices in many metros are forecast to continue to grow, albeit at a much slower rate.

The number of home sales in the United States peaked in 2021 at almost ************* after steadily rising since 2018. Nevertheless, the market contracted in the following year, with transaction volumes falling to ***********. Home sales remained muted in 2024, with a mild increase expected in 2025 and 2026. A major factor driving this trend is the unprecedented increase in mortgage interest rates due to high inflation. How have U.S. home prices developed over time? The average sales price of new homes has also been rising since 2011. Buyer confidence seems to have recovered after the property crash, which has increased demand for homes and also the prices sellers are demanding for homes. At the same time, the affordability of U.S. homes has decreased. Both the number of existing and newly built homes sold has declined since the housing market boom during the coronavirus pandemic. Challenges in housing supply The number of housing units in the U.S. rose steadily between 1975 and 2005 but has remained fairly stable since then. Construction increased notably in the 1990s and early 2000s, with the number of construction starts steadily rising, before plummeting amid the infamous housing market crash. Housing starts slowly started to pick up in 2011, mirroring the economic recovery. In 2022, the supply of newly built homes plummeted again, as supply chain challenges following the COVID-19 pandemic and tariffs on essential construction materials such as steel and lumber led to prices soaring.

Forensic Housing Market Resilience Analysis (REmatch)

  Overview

This project presents a forensic Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and predictive framework for the U.S. residential real estate market (2012–2023). Using the REmatch model, we analyze supply-side volatility to distinguish between "False Oversupply Warnings" (entry opportunities) and "Real Market Deterioration".

  Objectives

Identify structural supply shocks vs. seasonal noise. Quantify market… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/omershahar/housing-market-resilience-audit.

A commonly accepted threshold for affordable housing costs at the household level is 30% of a household's income. Accordingly, a household is considered cost burdened if it pays more than 30% of its income on housing. Households paying more than 50% are considered severely cost burdened. These thresholds apply to both homeowners and renters.

The Housing Affordability indicator only measures cost burden among the region's households, and not the supply of affordable housing. The directionality of cost burden trends can be impacted by changes in both income and housing supply. If lower income households are priced out of a county or the region, it would create a downward trend in cost burden, but would not reflect a positive trend for an inclusive housing market.

The stable and healthy development of the residential market has always been one of the important tasks of the Government, and is of great significance to the maintenance of social stability and the well-being of residents. This paper utilizes the VAR model, the housing filtering model and the four-quadrant theoretical model to explore the comprehensive impact and mechanism of the land supply system on China’s housing market from the logical framework and institutional environment of land and housing. The results of the study show that the price of residential land supply has a positive effect on house prices, while the quantity of residential land supply has a negative effect on house prices; The land transfer patterns of “Restricted Land Price, on-site Lottery” and “Restricted Land Price, Restricted Selling Price and Compete for Quality” are conducive to the healthy development of the real estate market, but an excessive supply of land for leasing may push up the prices of commercial properties. Finally, in combination with China’s policy objective of “stabilizing land prices, housing prices and expectations”, it puts forward a number of policy recommendations to rationally control and guide the healthy development of real estate.
