House prices in the United States are experiencing an incredible boom, according to the results of an analysis by the specialized site ResiClub. They have jumped 47.1% since 2020, outpacing growth in both the 1990s and 2010s. Moreover, this growth is likely to surpass the entire 2000s.
What is behind this rampant growth?
Inflation. Rising prices of goods and services directly affect the price of housing.
Supply shortage. The lack of available housing on the market pushes prices up.
Low interest rates. The availability of mortgage loans with low interest rates stimulates the demand for housing.
The consequences are not good at all. Buying a home is becoming increasingly unaffordable, especially for young people. Inequality in real estate is also growing. The overall economy may suffer as high home prices may reduce consumer spending.
