Realtor.com (NWS) reports that a record 25.2 million adults under 35 lived with their parents in 2025, about 33% of the age group. Most are employed, pointing to housing affordability rather than jobs.
Median listing prices reached $430,000 (34.4% above 2019) and median rent $1,673 (17.9% above 2019). The US faces an estimated 4 million-home supply deficit, creating delayed household formation and significant latent housing demand.
News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS), via Realtor.com, released May 2026 rental trends and 2026 Q1 cross‑market demand data.
The national median asking rent was $1,686, down 1.5% year-over-year, the 34th straight decline. Las Vegas showed the highest local renter loyalty, while Raleigh drew the most out-of-market interest. San Francisco saw rents rise 1.2% and homeownership increase from 49% to 51.7%.
Realtor.com (NWS) released its 2026 State Report Cards on housing affordability and homebuilding, revealing sharp regional divides. Indiana ranks No. 1 with an A (76.3), while New York is last at 8.5 (F). Only 11 states have median homes affordable to median earners.
Every A and B grade goes to the South or Midwest, while all F grades are in the Northeast and West. New York’s median listing price of $668,173 consumes 55.2% of typical income, and the state builds at less than half its population-based housing need.
News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS) highlighted a Realtor.com report showing how timing and pricing affect final home sale prices. Homes closing at four weeks sell for 1.8 percentage points above the monthly average, while listings lingering 18 weeks close 1.3 points below, underscoring a narrow window to validate asking prices.
The report notes condos selling at 97.9% of final list versus 99.2% for single-family homes, with condo list prices down 6.0% since March 2022 and single-family up 7.5%. Regionally, the Northeast still averages above asking, while many Southern and Western metros have shifted to more buyer-friendly conditions due to higher inventory.
Realtor.com (NASDAQ: NWS) reports that, five years after COVID, luxury housing markets show uneven outcomes. Only Minneapolis-St. Paul and Boise City exceed their pandemic peaks, while five metros, led by San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, have fallen below pre-pandemic baselines.
Nationally, the luxury threshold (90th percentile) was $1,283,432 in May 2026, down 1.4% year over year, marking the 26th straight annual decline. The million-dollar listing share remains elevated at 13.8%, versus a pre-pandemic 7%–9%, with about 146,000 million-dollar listings, roughly 40% above the prior peak.
The report highlights a sharp reversal in San Francisco, where the February 2026 luxury threshold is about $695,000 below its pre-pandemic level. However, Realtor.com notes that AI-related equity liquidity events are supporting high down payments and sustaining demand at the top end of the Bay Area market.
