In March 2022, U.S. home prices reached an all-time high of $405,000, marking a 13.5% year-over-year increase. Despite high prices, demand is moderating as buyers face affordability challenges. Inventory is expected to improve in June or July due to increased new construction and less aggressive buyer competition. March saw an 18.9% decline in active listings compared to last year, but the rate of decline is slowing. Homes sold faster, averaging 38 days on the market, 11 days less than last year, indicating potential relief for buyers.

In February 2022, U.S. rents soared by 17.1% year-over-year, reaching a new median of $1,792 per month, accounting for 30% of household budgets.

The report highlights a growing affordability crisis, especially in the Sun Belt, where many households face pressures from rising rental prices and mortgage rates. Despite the surge, some Middle America markets remain affordable, with rents under 30% of income. Overall, rising demand continues to outpace rental supply.
