Zillow (NYSE:ZG) reports that America's housing shortage reached a record 4.7 million units in 2023, with the deficit growing by 159,000 homes despite robust construction activity. While 1.4 million new homes were added to the housing stock in 2023, this failed to match the formation of 1.8 million new families.
The analysis reveals that 8.1 million families are currently "doubled up," sharing homes with non-relatives, with Millennials representing 38% of these arrangements. The largest housing deficits are concentrated in major metros like New York (402,361 units), Los Angeles (338,750 units), and Boston (150,541 units).
Despite record construction levels of 1.45 million completed units in 2023 and 1.63 million in 2024, affordability remains a challenge. A median-income family now needs a $17,670 raise to afford a typical home compared to 2019 levels.
