The U.S. housing market has slowed, after ** consecutive years of rising home prices. In 2021, house prices surged by an unprecedented ** percent, marking the highest increase on record. However, the market has since cooled, with the Freddie Mac House Price Index showing more modest growth between 2022 and 2024. In 2024, home prices increased by *** percent. That was lower than the long-term average of *** percent since 1990. Impact of mortgage rates on homebuying The recent cooling in the housing market can be partly attributed to rising mortgage rates. After reaching a record low of **** percent in 2021, the average annual rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage more than doubled in 2023. This significant increase has made homeownership less affordable for many potential buyers, contributing to a substantial decline in home sales. Despite these challenges, forecasts suggest a potential recovery in the coming years. How much does it cost to buy a house in the U.S.? In 2023, the median sales price of an existing single-family home reached a record high of over ******* U.S. dollars.

For several decades after World War II, regional incomes converged within the United States, but in recent decades, this trend has stopped and even reversed. Instead, more recent income growth—and the economic opportunities that come with it—has been increasingly concentrated in a small number of cities. From 2000 to 2018, median household incomes increased by about 15 percent more in cities that were already in the top 10 percent as compared to cities that were initially in the bottom half. During this time, the FHFA house price index rose by 31 percentage points more than the consumer price index (CPI). This increase is unevenly distributed, and driven in large part by the higher rate of housing price increases in major cities. Relative to CPI, house prices rose by 49 percentage points in New York, 96 percentage points in Seattle, 129 percentage points in Los Angeles, and 113 percentage points in Miami. Our essay argues that this is no coincidence: the workhorse model of urban economics predicts that an increase in regional inequality leads to higher average national housing rents and prices, and the data support this theory.

Growing industry revenue Despite the economic uncertainty and other challenges, the size of the private construction market in the U.S. rose during the past years. It is important to consider that supply and demand for housing influences the revenue of this segment of the construction market. On the supply side, single-family home construction fell in 2023, but it is expected to rise in 2024 and 2025. On the demand side, some of the U.S. metropolitan areas with the highest sale prices of single-family homes were located in California, with San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara at the top of the ranking.
