Fifteen of the 50 largest metros are now >10% below pandemic-era peaks, led by Austin (-18.2%) and Phoenix (-15.6%).

Realtor.com (NWS) reports early homebuying materially boosts midlife wealth: buying by age 30 associates with 22.5% higher net worth (about $119,000) by age 50 versus buyers in their 40s. Rising prices and slower income growth pushed median first‑time buyer age from 30 (1990) to 40 (2025), lengthening down‑payment savings from ~3.2 to 9.7 years and lowering homeownership to 65.7%.
Realtor.com launched HomeGrown, an advocacy campaign to expand supply, access to credit, and affordability for future buyers.

San Antonio has the lowest entry point at $750,510; Heber, Utah is steepest at $7,250,000 (over six times the national benchmark). The report highlights Sun Belt affordability, faster luxury velocity in Houston (54 days), and ongoing price recalibration in coastal hubs.
Realtor.com (NWS) reports February 2026 inventory growth is plateauing as supply gains slow. Active listings reached 914,860 (+7.9% YoY); median list price fell 2.1% YoY to $403,450; median days on market rose to 70 (4 days longer YoY). Regional gaps persist: Northeast inventory remains 56.8% below pre‑pandemic levels while the South and West near or exceed 2017–2019 norms.
New listings rose 2.4% YoY (362,180) with storm-driven declines in the Northeast and stronger gains elsewhere.
NWS (Realtor.com) reports the U.S. housing supply gap widened to 4.03 million homes in 2025, up from 3.8 million in 2024, driven by underbuilding and persistent demand from younger households.
Key metrics: 1.41 million household formations vs 1.36 million housing starts in 2025; 1.82 million Millennial/Gen Z households remain “missing.” Regional gaps concentrate in the South (1.62M) and Northeast (952K). Under an optimistic 50% construction rise, the deficit would take roughly seven years to close.

Realtor.com (NWS) finds the U.S. housing market has "recalibrated" after four years of higher mortgage rates, creating persistent affordability strain despite rising inventory. Active listings rose 142.1% nationwide since January 2022 while median list price and price-per-square-foot remain elevated.
Rates peaked at 7.79% and sit near 6.10%, sustaining a lock-in effect that limits seller mobility and keeps supply uneven across regions.
